What Canon lenses? Are they compatible with Canon DSLRs? If so, consider the cost of replacing them with Nikon glass if you go that route. I personally prefer Nikon, but the stingy side of me doesn't like to waste 2 perfectly good lenses, assuming your 2 are perfectly good. That said, I got a Nikon refurbished D7000 for $619 from Adorama...maybe it was B&H.


Camera is a Rebel XT DSLR
Kit lense - 18-55 / f3.5-f5.6
2nd lense - 35-105 /f3.5-f4.5

As one can see,these aren't really the best glass Canon has. That's why I'm considering changing systems. Bodies are just about disposable. A good lense is forever. Nikon has used the same mount since the 50s. Canon has changed their mount a couple times.

You are implying that you can afford much more now... that's good. What kind of photography do you hobby with? What is your new bigger budget? :-)


I shoot landscapes and and some people. New budget, $6-700 for a body, Plus the price of 1 0r 2 lenses. The lenses depend on speed and focal length.

I have a 5 year old Canon Rebel & two lenses. It was what I could afford at the time. I'm thinking about upgrading, but at this point I'm really not sure whether to stick with what I have or move to Nikon. A D80 or a D90 or such.
Any advice for this hobbyist?
