[Wathen1955]

Time to get a new camera. I've been looking at entry level Digital SLR types such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Digital-Focus-S-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G/dp/B00HQ4W1QE/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1460090992&sr=1-1&keywords=Nikon+D3300
I was also looking at the Canon: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-18-55mm-Stabilizer-Professional-Commander/dp/B016VCJCSG/ref=pd_cp_421_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VQWA27AXWKEYE7DMQJ2
Read some reviews, and most said that the problem with Canon the last 3-5 years has been lack luster innovations. One review suggested that the Nikon was a better buy than the Canon.
