Cameras

[Spyder]

They both have built in mics. If you were looking to use it for professional applications, which I know you aren't, then you'd want to record your audio on a different digital device.

Canon is superior to Nikon in the video department. Canon was the first to discover this application for DSLR's, and they supported it with the proper processors. Nikon is still trying to figure it out.

All of the photo junkies give Nikon the edge in the still photography department. I don't know if that's just an "old habits die hard" type of thing, or if they really notice the difference. I can't.

I went with the Nikon myself, for the simple fact that it was on sale at the time. Knowing what I know about the video difference, I probably would've spent the extra cash for the Canon. But I still love the Nikon, and I'm taken the best pictures that I've ever taken with it.

The good news is that you can't go wrong with either.
