    here ya go...... make your own choices! no one can possibly have all those cameras but I lean toward Canon since I always had Canon cameras. I have the 30D and just sold my 10D and started off the the AE-1 wayyyyy back in the '70s! You can check out my pictures in the other threads posted here. But what ever you choice..... those cameras are great choices. It's going to be hard to pick one! good luck.

    would recommend sticking with the cannon or the nikon

    i would favour the cannon as i have used it myself and beleive it to be one of the best in its price range thats on the market at the moment
