Default Help choosing a Nikon camera
Hi all

I have a friend that wants to get back into photography and he wants to purchase a Nikon camera that would be in the same class as the canon 50D .... can you help guide me in helping him ...

I would but I am a canon guy ... ;-)

Thanks
Rick

Canon 50D.. Hmmm.. That would be like a Nikon D50 wouldn't it?

LoL.. I think you should be looking at a D5100 or a D7000
