    probably nobody knows how to answer which it really would be ? but it is sony naturally. if camera has made for example in the taiwan so i don`t at least not would buy it. japanese product is better (fortunately this is only my opinion)

    I used to be a pro photographer.
    Last year I bought the Canon EOS 350D (Black)
    It is EXCELLENT !
    Does everything I could possibly want, and even the supplied lens (18-55mm)is sharp and clear.
    The viewfinder is very sharp unlike some I looked at, and the noise levels very low.
    There is also no delay in taking the photo after the button is pressed, unlike some earlier cameras I checked.
    So if you're thinking of a digital camera check this out first !

    i bought the canon 30D. i also have the canon S2IS and a canon S60.

    the 20D can be had a good price now becuz now that the 30D was introduced.

    canon is #1, then nikon. no question about it.

    Although Sony's cameras are pretty sharp I think Canon has proven to make the best consumer digital cameras time and time again. Just take a look at reviews at some of the main digital photography sites like dpreview.com

    ok you guys seem to know camera. I will tell you what i want the camera for and if you can, can you tell what I should get.

    I want to be able to take pictures of sports. So i need something where there is a ood sports shutter, i want to be able to have a lot of space, so i would use SD or CF. Lighting in arena isnt the best so It would need a good aperature. Also i want optical zoom

    check out the canon 350D, they are going for around 800-900.
    the image quality will be the same as the 20D and 30D (same sensors), although the camera is physically smaller than the D's.
    pass on the kit lense, it's sub-par, but not a bad starter lens to get aquainted.

    then again, the 20D is selling for around 1000-1300 and they include an accesory kit ($350 or so) for free! check out henrys(dot)com for pricing or futureshop(dot)ca.
