yea, I'd only buy Cannon. Nikon is okay, but Cannon owns. Don't make the mistake my dad did (twice, on separate occasions fist he didn't know, and listened to salesmen, and 2nd he wanted to get the same camera for my sisters in case we get a Kodak easy share printer, even though I told him the color is bad) and buy a Kodak. they have very bad color and are very slow.
