Simple realy.

Eos 1000d or Nikon d3000? which one?

I have the Nikon D3000 and love it.

Its all personal preference though

Just bought the canon eos 1000d, so far a brilliant camera nice feel and plenty of options.

The age old question. Ive always been a canon man myself, but I reckon theres nothing in it.

I moved from Canon pro cameras (1ds) in 2008 to nikon (D3). I wouldn't go back. I have used the D3000 and it's a good little camera.

Go for the nikon, u won't be disappointed.

simple..... hahaha this thread could go on forever with all the pros and cons of both but to be honest alot depends on what kind of photos you want to use the camera for, plus lens choice is obviously dictated by that as well. Check the prices on the lenses you think you might need in both canon and nikon.
Personally I'm all about the Canon ;)

The thing ive read is that the nikkon dosent have live view. So dose this mean you cant see the shot from the screen b4 you take it?

As has been suggested, go play with the two cameras and make your mind up.

Nikon seem to have more vibrant colours, Canon make better a better lens - there's bugger all in it really, all about personal choice, I used Nikon for work for years and loved them but now have a Canon 5d as I wanted their 70-200 2.8 lens.

Getting them from a catalog so not easy to play with. have take a trip to jessops wed. Also thinking Olympus now.

Ive got a non digi slr OM10/OM2 with 5 lenses. And you can use them with the olympus digi slrs.

From memory, yes I think that is correct. That's one of the reasons why I went for the next one up, the D5000 (which does have Live View).

[sacko]

Correct... But no need for live view imo..

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Canon Image Stabilizer is built into the lens, I believe it's in the camera body on the Nikon.[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]I'm a Canon user. Waiting to see who brings out the first SLR with a flip out screen like a camcorder. I have a Canon compact with it and it makes the camera so more versatile.[/COLOR][/FONT]
