I've read a lot of reviews from different professional photographers and I always see them owning Nikon DSLR especially the D300 kit. It is just too sweet if you own one. Though Canon is also nice, cause it's user friendly.
Nikonians just love to own a Nikon cause they are challenged to customize the settings of their expensive toy and would like to experiment in different ways they want.
The downside of owning an SLR is that it's too bulky arghh.
I own the cheapest Nikon DSLR btw, D40.
And I want a new one, the D300 thing. I know it's over priced but, I'm planning to pursuit being a pro. ^^
Okay okay, anyhow. Aich, I'd like to recommend to you a new one, it's a compact DSLR:
