What body is that on?

I am making a book if different species of hardwoods I come across in life.

And I'll end with this

I'll just post this here instead of starting my own thread. I'm looking to get a beginner DSLR and am between Nikon and Cannon. I know that once you buy a brand and start buying lenses it is best to stick with a single brand so you don't have to sell and buy all new lenses when you upgrade the body. So, any opinions one way or the other as to which is the better buy?

Thanks, Wick

As far as Canon v Nikon, go play with them in BestBuy and see which feels better in your hand and how you like the menus on both. Neither will give you better output than the other, and neither has a better lens selection, and anyone who says so is full of shite. I liked how Canon's menu is designed, I can navigate it quickly, and the rotary dial on the back's placement in relation to the rest of the buttons. feels natural to me. Also consider whether or not you have friends with one particular brand, because that's access to trade and borrow lenses.

I am a hobbyist with no training, I am learning slowly when I have time to get out and shoot...

Thanks. I will for sure mess around with each of them before buying.

Nice! I really like that first take. Much lighter and sharper.

Thanks for reminding me why I try to avoid toning photos on my laptop in energy-saving mode.
