Any reason you haven't tried both cameras? There is more than specs to a camera. Usability is an intangible that varies from person-to-person. The camera that is most easy for you to use should be the one you purchase.

If you have 2 choices, then you must go and try both cameras and try to choose by what you feel. I have the Canon, its my 3rd G series (had the 9 and 11, among 6 or 7 other cameras) and overall its an amazing camera, really. Very VERY quick, with is something that can really make a differnece when hunting for that special pic. Nothing to envy in luminosity to the best reflex out there, it takes pictures with low light that are incredible for the size and price of this machine. And my favourite! the slow motion video recorder, great adition and lots of fun there. The wifi? never used it, yet!

I bought the Nikon Coolpix S6400 16MP camera and it takes great pictures. The zoom is amazing and downloading the pictures is a snap. If you want a reasonably inexpensive, but worth it's weight in gold, camera...get a Nikon. It is an easy point and shoot camera. I have 3 different Sony cameras, including the touchscreen one, and the Nikon is just as good.

A D70 is worth it if you're new to DSLR's and/or you only want to pay $200 - $400 (no more than that). Besides, it's the lenses that make the most difference. And besides THAT, the camera just takes pictures. The photographer makes the images...good or bad. I started my photography business with the D70 and did quite well.

Both are great cameras that will give you really nice photographs. My preference is Nikon due to feel and ease of control. When in actual shooting situations with little time for confusion, the Nikon seems to provide an edge. Lenses are generally better in contrast, color and resolution.

Canon G11 is a excellent camera, for kids photography works fine. G11 have both manual and automatic settings, this provide you with good alternatives to be creative and responsive when you need it. Video quality is adequate but remember is not HD!! Hope this help.

I think that would be a better option than my DSLR. I'm planning on upgrading soon.

D40; better built. takes very good pictures. canon is too plasticky; higher-end canons are very good; but in this price range, Nikon is better; but this is a personal opinion.

I love the G20. I don't know of a feature I would use...that it doen't have. Great camera. I record mostly high school wrestling and football. They have very different lighting. On auto mode they both look great.

which canon model are you comparing the d3200 to? t2i? t3i? t4i? for the most part nikon and canon beginner dslr cameras are equivalent, the brand/model won't matter much. they have thier strengths and weaknesses, but overall they're pretty much the same. your best bet is try to go hold a few different models/brands in your hands, see which ones resonate with you. and good glass (lenses) is far more important than the camera body itself, as it has the biggest impact on image quality. so if possible underspend on the camera body and overspend on glass. a good 50mm f1.8 prime lens is a great compliment to the provided kit lenses. which canon model are you comparing the d3200 to? t2i? t3i? t4i? for the most part nikon and canon beginner dslr cameras are equivalent, the brand/model won't matter much. they have thier strengths and weaknesses, but overall they're pretty much the same. your best bet is try to go hold a few different models/brands in your hands, see which ones resonate with you. and good glass (lenses) is far more important than the camera body itself, as it has the biggest impact on image quality. so if possible underspend on the camera body and overspend on glass. a good 50mm f1.8 prime lens is a great... » Read More which canon model are you comparing the d3200 to? t2i? t3i? t4i? for the most part nikon and canon beginner dslr cameras are equivalent, the brand/model won't matter much. they have thier strengths and weaknesses, but overall they're pretty much the same. your best bet is try to go hold a few different models/brands in your hands, see which ones resonate with you. and good glass (lenses) is far more important than the camera body itself, as it has the biggest impact on image quality. so if possible underspend on the camera body and overspend on glass. a good 50mm f1.8 prime lens is a great compliment to the provided kit lenses. « Show Less

I agree with the Nikon choice - feels natural in my hand too. From what I've read, you really can't go wrong with a Canon or Nikon - it depends on which feels best. If you do go Nikon, however, I would suggest you also consider the D40 (which I bought as a first time DSLR). I doubt that you'll miss the extra mega pixels, and the $100 you save over D40x could be used toward better lenses, which you will definitely notice. Once you go with an SLR, you may quickly realize that the quality of photos you create depends on 1) your ability, 2) the lens quality, and 3) the camera body.

Because I wanted something more flexible that the strandar quick-shot camera, but not too much professional because I need to learn first. So I asked some friends (who are photographers) and they said that D3100 or D3200 were good options, depending on the price I was willing to pay.

If you have the money, go with the 70D. As a beginner the 70D is probably more user friendly. You will also get better picture quality with the 70D.

This camera is perfect for beginners to advance photographers. I'd take the GH3 over any Canon or Nikon entry level camera anyday. You'll be perfectly comfortable as a beginner with this camera but don't be afraid to wander in the semi-manual and manual modes, that is the only way you are going to learn. :)Buy it, you won't regret it.Enjoy

I'm also thinking about those cameras and I don't know which one to get. I was leaning towards the Nikon d90 because of the HD video but I don't know.

The G16 is a very capable replacement for a full sized DSLRi normally shot with a full frame Cannon 5D MKll and a 24/105 and this camera does just as well In raw and the jpegs are also beautiful I have shot flowers in macro and that is large jpeg only and they are stunning I am very happy with my G16 The size small enough to fit in my front pants pocket but tight fit so i use a small punch so as to not damage the shutter coverNot sure about the GPS Don't think so Google G16 specifications

So I was also looking between the two and just decided to go with the Canon. Also being an amateur I figured that with the Canon brand there would be no chances that there would be glitches or issues using it with my canon camera, there is no doubt of the quality, and if I do progress in photography there is no question about being able to use it as a slave
