Btw is Canon XXD series a class higher than Nikon DXXX series?
TS already stated which one he got... do read through before posting.Ask yourself.
1. How much is your budget ?
2. Are you technically good at camera ?
3. Does size matter ?
4. What are you shooting ?
If your a beginner, just get an entry level dslr camera. Any brand will do.
I am using Nikon D300 and 35mm lens/ 18-200mm. It works wonders. Very pleased with picture quality.
Hope this helps.
