Even though I recently talked about wanting to get the Canon EOS 50D, I am now a bit conflicted about whether to keep going with Canon or make a jump to Nikon for my next camera. Right now I have a small investment in Canon lenses, but with my new body I will be making a substantial enough investment that there really isn’t any going back. Switch now or never.
What intrigues me the most about the Nikon D90 is the support for a GPS module, lower pricepoint and support for Aperture tethering. The GPS is the major feature because I am a habitual geotagger using Maperture or HoudahGeo. Moving to Nikon would also afford me the ability to replace two Canon lenses I have with a Nikon one that would be the ultimate walkabout.
When I was initially in the market for SLRs, Canon was really the only choice for an affordable starter camera. It’s amazing what two years can do.
