I went to the mall yesterday, and while I was there, I checked out the DSLRs at Best Buy. I had originally say, in Canon vs Nikon and Camera Comparison, that the I did not like Canon's UI. I spent a little more time with it, particularly with the Rebel XSi, and I realized that they are not much different. It is a mere case of getting used to the subtle changes.For the XSi, I had originally said that it was "hard to access absolutely any manual controls." Now, I rather enjoy the simplicity of the functions. While it is definitely harder to do things as compared to comparable Nikons or higher-end Canons, it wasn't actually too bad.
I still say that overall, Nikon DSLRs are uglier with more easily accessible functions and buttons on the body. I guess that is a tradeoff. I am still undecided, but I will not dismiss Canon DSLRs as quickly as I have initially.
There is time yet before I get my camera. Perhaps I'll wait for the Canon 50D. Heh.
