Need Advice On Fancy Dslr Cameras

[Blue88Comanche]

My uncle wants to sell His Nikon D90 and buy a newer Nikon D5100, and he offered to sell the D90 to me. I love the D90 but have not used other DSLRs (well a Cannon DSLR once) But for those of you who have used both cameras what do you like better? Currently I am Sitting 50-50 between the two. The final price would be about the same, the biggest plus to the D90 i can think of, is its ability to use the motor-less AF lenses

 

Thanks for your thoughts

I use a Pentax K-X with a Pentax SMC 28-200mm-among others - - Lens was mounted to my ZX-10 when I shot film - You're thinking's right about the lens thing & there's a world of excellent factory lens out there - All makes - - - - - About buying used? - - - No digital SLR shoots forever - - Check the shutter count - - - I don't have much Canon hands on - I'd Google the D90 for SC/life expect info or call a rep camera shop & ask.

Thanks for the advice, I decided to by the D90, I know i like how it feels. my uncle was not too sure if he would like the 5100 (but shutter lag was the only reason and its a 70 ms difference) so in that case then i would just swap cameras if we wanted too. so no matter what we will both get the one we prefer.

 

my only other SLR camera is the film Yashica FX-3 camera he had for 25-30 years, he gave it to me after i fixed it, I love that camera but my sister is going to be using it for a year or tow while she is in college for her major so i needed a new camera
