Well no, the camera wasn't on sale, the stuff was on sale. Plus it's from best buy and I gots a 4 year warranty too.

still $329 is WAY too much. You could have probably got a D40 body for that.

^^not quite.. d40 is $450 minimum in store price :P but yea.. $329 for a fuji 2000 is too much.. i can get one online for under $200 if i wait for Dell to have some coupons again lol

I've been born and raised Nikon. My father started his whole career on Minolta, Sigma and Nikon cameras by beating out many of the local Canon guys. It's kinda like being raised a Ford, GM or Chevy fan; you only love what you own and you dislike using the rest. I'll use a Canon or support a Canon when I need too, but I certainly won't buy one. I don't like their features, tech support or even the looks of their cameras. Probably just like many won't purchase a Nikon for the same reasons.

[/end ramble]

Same reason why no matter how bad *** a mustang is i would never be caught dead owning one...

Everybody has their reasons, im not necesarily a canon fanboy but i guess i didnt really look at any other cameras when i bought mine. Since making the switch form SLR to D-SLR was simpler using the same branded camera with almost all the same features...

What do you use sorry I am all confused today lol. Waiting to have Nitro Pede back in one piece(have all parts already) so I can do a sound test to hear how much better it is than my old camera. Also gonna get the part for the Slash so I can hopefully get a sick video and sick pics of that!

Man I got to use a Nikon D-300 this weekend man I want on bad...Or even better the new D-700. I also got to use the new Tamron 18-270mm with vibration control, Its a nice lens very versatile and small.

D300 is a beaut to shoot with it, isn't it? My Super-Intendant (who I often go on "shooting" expeditions with) just purchased that camera with the 70-200 f/2.8 VR. Great camera and it knows how to use that lense well.
