so the story goes, a newbie into dslr, and the current nikon d40 flash has broken. i chose nikon as people said it was good.
now i have got to know the nikon range and feel better.
thinking of an upgrade, such as used d80, had a feel, and it feels a quality bit of kit.
however i went into jessops, and had a play with canon and sony.
the sony alpha 300 or 350, not overly expensive, seems a good buy.
- image stabiliser in the body, so any other lens image stabiliser fits ok.
- my friend has said all the older minolta lens fit (so some cheaper used range options)
- good selling point for me is the live view mode, easily switched on and auto focuses pretty quick and easy (especially compared to my d40).
ok it doesn't feel as nice to hold, and then menu isn't as nice as nikon, but the above, could detract me away from nikon.
any reasons why i should or shouldn't go for sony?
should i stick with my used d80 choice in mind?
