[QUOTE="aroy, post: 343372, member: 16090"] Regarding colours from Canon, this is the first time I am hearing this, as most Canon shooters get their colour bang on. May be before changing camp, you should try shooting RAW and post processing the images in the Canon Software. If you are still bent on changing camp, then read on. Do what I did. Get the D3300 with its kit lense. The body is much better than the D3200 and the body+lense combination is excellent as well as being lighter with longer battery life. Nikon low end bodies have very few buttons and controls (that is what I like), but you may not. Older CPU lenses which require an in-body motor will not AF, but will meter. Even older non CPU lense will neither AF nor meter, so you will have to do both in manual mode. If you are willing for this then the D3300 is the best buy today. Once you get used to the Nikon, you can start acquiring lenses. I already had a 50mm F1.8 and 16-85, so I got the 35mm F1.8. The 35mm is an excellent lense which will complement the kit zoom for low light situations. Barring a few professional zoom, most of the zooms that reach 300mm are quite bad at long end.
