What Camera?

[zedbra]

I have a Nikon D70s that I bought September 2005. It was a choice between that or the Canon 350D. I very nearly went for the Canon because of it's higher resolution and lower price. However, I read lots about how the Nikon was more solid and the lower resolution didn't, in reality, made a lot of difference. I also read how the Canon was quite small and not for people with large hands (such as myself!). So I found the extra 1 or 2 hundred quid and went for the Nikon. I did wonder about the Canon D20 as that was similar in specification to the Nikon but higher resolution, but that was stretching my financies too far.

Just to answer the other question at the start of this thread - If I had a choice of any camera, I'm not honestly sure what I'd choose. I'm very happy with the features on mine which I researched very well, and I don't feel it's lacking in anything I'd use apart from higher resolution. I'd like that mainly so that my photos where only a part of them have something worth keeping in, can cropped to that section and retain usable resolution. So something with the same features but 12MP or more would suit me nicely. Otherwise I think it can be over-kill to get extra features you'll never use. I'd rather spend the money on better lenses.
