You can not go wrong with Canon. Both Canon and Nikon make the best optics...hence there dominance also in the film world. I believe your model has the Digit processor which is a great technology.

I've owned Nikons, Canon, Olympus, Minolta and hands down I always get more in focus shots with the Canon. These are usually fast snowboard, mtn bike shots. One of the worst shots has been a Fuji for me. Stabalization has been poor. Sony's have too much RED push in there pictures. HP has been QC.
