A test vs a D3 would be fairer
Had this pointed out to me: New (not refurbished etc.) D60 + 18-55 kit lens* for £270+£4pp at the argos ebay outlet store w/ 12 month warrenty. Don't know a thing about photography but that looks a decent price for a entry-level body (google tells me that among other things, "it's designed for normal hands" whatever the hell that's supposed to mean). They've got 240 of them left but the number is steadily going down...*for what it's worth, I'm informed it says it's a 18-55 AF-S DX but someone who has already bought one was sent the 18-55 VR lens instead
Short answer is I would look for a second-hand D7000. There are definitely no good reasons to switch to Canon currently - video has a better rep on some of the more expensive bodies almost all of the bodies, even ones which canon didn't actually fit with a video mode (without touching Qscale) but I think Nikon's wireless flash control is a bigger reason to stay Canon's wireless flash system is utter shit unless you have the $$$ for the new radio system.
What's your budget Chris?
Or would a 2nd hand 300s be a better investment?
