So I made a post a month ago asking about the powershot and that lead me to wanting to buy a bridge camara which then lead me to an entry DSLR.
I want to learn the basics from shooting my tank, my computer modding projects, holiday snaps, etc. The options seem to be the canon 1100d, 400d and 600d or the Nikon 3100 or 3200.
The pulling power of the canon seem to be the aufocusing lenses but these are only suited for the smaller sensor, if I wanted full frame in the future I would have to start over on the lenses. The Nikon seem to have slightly better bodies in terms of functions and nearly all the lenses are interchangeable. Generally for a beginner any of these models are more than suited to what I need.
So the question is does it all come down to how the camera feels in my hands as one of my mates told me, then told me to buy cannon. I did like the feel of the 1100d when I had a quick stop in jessops but will go for a longer viewing before buying again. The 100d felt really small in my hands so I'm a little put off that.
The plus side of having a cannon would allow me to use my sisters lenses as she has the 1100d and when ever I ask her advice he shouts cannon.
Any further input would be gratefully received.
