Re: I think I made a mistake, Canon 400D instead of Nikon D60.
I don't have a Nikon and never have. I had a couple Canons before and one of them was a DSLR. I don't have it anymore because it wasn't what I needed, with I being the operative word.
I currently have a DSLR that gets really good reviews, but others get better ones in some categories, and overall too. But I don't see the same results. I don't "weigh" the differences the same.
If CNET or Steve or DPR, etc say the camera is heavy, should it be heavy for me too? It isn't. If they say the dynamic range is lacking, is it for me? because it isn't. If they say the camera isn't as fast, does it mater to me, really? Because mine does 5 frames per second and I'm not missing a moment because my camera may grab auto-focus 5 milliseconds after another one. What if my reaction to get the camera to the eye and half-press the shutter button was 10 milliseconds faster than the dude with the faster camera? I'm still winning.
Read the manual yourself. Play with the camera yourself. Take your own pictures. Look at them on your computer or via your local lab.
