thank you for the welcome! I have been reading and watching for sometime. I only now decided to ask my question. To make sure that it was put Correctly! Your kindness is much appreciated! I have done my research and found that it is a close call on both. I just wondered if anyone had any other advice before we decided on one. We did purchase the Canon today. After much debate. To add to that, I would like to let you all know that I appreciate the forum and I am watching and reading learning as I go. I will be back daily and continue to check in. While our decision was a touch one....you imput had a great deal to do with it! Thanks again!

Im looking at getting my first real nice camera for my budget. Husband wife team. We have the great skills but are stuck in the dilemma of which to purchase. We would like to buy the same so we can swap lenses from time to time. I would like people to offer advice and pro's and con's about both of these cameras. I have heard only a little on both and from what we know they are both great. Any one with any news or advice to help me in the purchase debate?Please help!!!!!
