This is my first DSLR!) Just super)) I chose between the Canon 500D, Nikon d5000, and Nikon d3100 for a very long time . I read a bunch of forums and my choice was leaning towards Canon, because everyone wrote that Nikon has a dark lens and a bad screen . I agree that Canon has a better screen (but this is not the main thing), but I didn’t like their colors either . some kind of brightened everything ((In general, I decided not to overpay for Canon and bought this)) very satisfied))) Unusual colors, clarity after the soap dish! Maybe later I will find fault with something, but for starters, this is what you need ! If you want to buy your first DSLR, take it, you won't regret it!)) Good luck with the choice)) This site helped me a lot, thanks)
