Hey all,
I'm very new to DSLR, had a old Nikon F body with a few lens but that was back in highschool. I think I was more worried about the babes in the class than photography itself. I know about Nikon's and don't know squat about Canon, never owned one. I have some Canon digital color equipment where I work and it rocks, but camera's are a whole different thing. So, here is the question. I'm looking a buying a Canon Rebel XT and want to do mostly underwater close up shots, but also use it for the family too. I'm wondering first of all if a 75-300 telephoto lens is going to go macro enough for underwater reef tank photos. 2nd question, would you spend the extra coin and buy a Nikon (I have read a lot of posts lately and I think I'm going to get the "I like Nikon" and "I like Canon" but they should be about the same quality right / I'm not looking for perfection)? I just see Canon being a good product and Nikon seems to be much more pricey. Don't pound on me, I'm just looking for a helping hand for a newbie to photography.
Thx
