Hi

I am planing to purchase my first SLR camera and would like some advice from the experts in the group as to which out of the following should i choose, Nikon F65 (sold as N65 in US) or the Cannon EOS300.

I am getting these cameras at around 350-400 GBP with twin lens 28-80mm & 75-300 mm

thanks mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

There was a thread on this subject about 9 months ago. Neither camera has changed much since then so the comments there would still be relevant for you. (Rebel 2000 is Canon's US name for the EOS 300.)

Hai I have a Nikkon f65 and , it all depends on how u handle ur camera. In fact I have taken some fantactic shots with a 100% manual Zenith-SLR (not even battries) .No matter u have the best HI FI expensive camera the result finally seen on the print not on the specs.Try avoiding the auto and experiment on manual focus and apature settings u end up with some real Pro shots. all the best , Practise well and have a great time,
