Dear Axiom BB'ers:

I am looking for some advice about Digital SLR Cameras.

I own a 35-mm Canon Rebel EOS, but I havent use it for a good time now (past 3 years at least). Learning curve was too slow, as developing film times and money invested on film and developing was growing too fast, at least faster that I was learning. Plus the infinite note taking for each frame to keep track of the settings... blah blah blah..

I have a friend that changed his SLR for a D-SLR and the learning curve has been just great ! In months time, and just with some books out of Amazon.com, he is shooting terrific pictures!! He uses a Nikon D80.

Before taking the plunge in a D-SLR, I will like to get some feebdack from the D-SLR users on this BB (I trust Axiom members a lot, as I got always help from this BB with setting up my HT).

I see on the web discussions about CANON vs NIKON entry level D-SLR. Any hints, tips, advices, or anything I should know before going into D-SLR, will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards.
