hi guys
i'm realy confused between canon 7d or nikon d300s which one i shoud buy any advise ?

Step 1.) Go to a shop

Step 2.) Try both cameras

Step 3.) Buy the one that feels best in your hands

That way you will buy the one that is right for you, and not whatever I or anybody else who posts below feels is best for them. Both the cameras take fantastic pictures.

Step 4.) Shoot

They both have their pro's and con's. What are you planning to use it for mostly?

what Jeremy said... that should really be your first step if at all possible

+2 on getting your candidate cameras in hand. No other way to properly choose -- no matter how many reviews you read through or opinions you garner.

If you are really confused maybe you should not be looking at the 7D/D300s but rather at the 60D/D7000/A55. What is your DSLR skill level and what are you going to use it for?

...BTW, the best advice has already been given - get them in-hand first!

Thanks guys for you support I really appreciate it WVBoy25401: I’m using the cam for home use but I like to go out much and take a shoots airplane show party nature vacations so I need a camera that’s support I already have my d40 + 18-55 and 70-300 lenses so for the D300s Lenses can help me but for D7 I have to buy a new lenses I check the cannon d7 it have more option than Nikon d300s like shutter speed iso I’m not sure if is it full frame so this is what I’m really confused

my advice: don't buy either camera. they are aimed for pros or semi-pros,you really sound like a begineer with a lot of money. don't make the mistake to buy a camera like that.

If you have already some Nikon lenses why are you even looking at Canon?

Razvan : That’s right that I’m still beginner and I’m not that rich guy my first cam was a gift then I like to upgrade

jeremy1302:I’m thinking to get something good for the hole life so I was surprised when I saw the canon option, I donno If that make that big different than Nikon d300s but till now I’m still convinced with Nikon d300s

well take my advice & don't buy a pro camera. get a D90 instead,you'll be super happy with that camera.

Although I've had SOME experience with film cameras, many years ago & had a P&S Coolpix for the last 5 years, i've just purchased the Nikon D7000 as my 1st REAL Dslr.
I'm still getting to grips with all the functions, there are more than enough to keep me occupied tbh & i'm quite impressed with the picture quality too.

This is the 60D forum, try to keep it clean guys!

You're a funny guy Ruben: Buying a new camera but undecided on brand? is where we are (lekker slaap ou maat).

ahmadzaa, if you are coming from a D40 and are looking for a camera "for life" take a good look at the D7000. It's an awesome camera and has a great price. You can always spring for the D400 when it finally comes out.

O dear! I was sleeping, yes!

But what's ''ou''? For the others:
Slaap=sleep
lekker= good
maat= friend

#&@X! Still the D7000 is the best one of the two, but if you want to film the 60D is the best.
