Nikon D90 vs Canon 50D the launch

Yesterday it was the Canon 50D, today Nikon fires back with the D90. Nikon bias aside I have to say Nikon blew Canon away on this release. I am not even talking about cameras here. Yesterday Canon fired off a press release and updated their website. Nothing special, just another page on the site along with 50 other cameras. To dilute the message even further on the same day they also introduced a few really boring point and shoot cameras that were barley worth mentioning. Nikon has all kinds of info including a cool video from pro photographer Chase Jarvis as well as pages and pages worth of data, sample pix and videos. Nice job Nikon.

Both cameras look great if you are in the market for a medium end DSLR. One word of advice, don’t listen to me. Go get your hands on any camera you are thinking about buying and try it out. If you stick with Nikon or Canon you really can’t go wrong.
