[QUOTE="Adam.L., post: 5674319, member: 28596"] I'm not too experienced, but will provide my two cents anyway. About 4 months ago I bought a Nikon D80 kit with 18-135 lens. It's performed better than any of my previous "SLR-Like" cameras. Some people will have a bias towards Nikon or Canon, in my opinion both are equally capable instruments. As far as "learnability" is concerned: It took me about a month to become efficient enough with it to use the camera in full manual mode. I still feel there's much room for improvement in my abilities with this camera. You don't need to fully understand the camera to take decent pictures - if all else fails, you can use the auto setting. This was my greatest resource in determining which camera to purchase: [url]http://www.dpreview.com/[/url] . I highly recommend handling a few cameras prior to purchase - you want to find something you're comfortable holding on to. I was initially sold on the D40X when comparing features per dollar, but after handling one I felt it was worth the upgrade to the D80 just because it was more comfortable in my hands. [/QUOTE]
