i want to buy a reflex camera but i dont know wich model. i was thinking about a nikon f65 for about 450$ (can)or a minolta maxxum 5 or a canon rebel ti for almost the same price. What do you think would be the best thing to buy?

if you get mad at it you can throw a punch at it and it'll duck out of the way

i'd prefer nikon. pentax and canon are ok and they can probably take similar quality photos but I prefer the exposure and focus setup on the nikon (they are slightly different to the pentaxs)

when your buying a slr camera what your really buying in to is the companies lens system, cause a camera is just a box that captures the light the lens is waht truly affects the light since light physicaly travles through.
so those your skis...... both of them

Nikon cameras are pretty big, my Physics teacher has an F80 and the thing is very large, whereas my Rebel Ti is very small and compact. Fits perfectly in my Pelican case and everything.

get a cannon body, like a reble or somthing like that and then get a relly nice lens for it.....becase a relly fast lens that is sharp will affect the pics way more then the body. i also think with the nikon there are some things taht are better with thre lens system, like u can put a new lens on a old camera(and vice verca i think). but with the nikon products it seems like your paying for the name a lot more then with cannon.i personily like the cannons more, they seem to be lighter. but relly if u get any of the cameras u were talking about u wont get a 'bad' camera by any means.
