I have a Nikon and while I love it one thing that annoys me is the lack of zoom? I know I can buy extras for it but I don't want to spend more money if you know what I mean.. Mine is just for basic family ect pictures..

it does take great pics though.. Dh's cousins DH is a professional Photographer and he said the difference between Nikon and Canon is the same as Holden and Ford.. You either like one brand or the other. They are just as good as each other.. They just offer different features so you just need to decide which one offers you more for your money

Good luck shopping
