I love Nikon cameras

This past week I got the itch to upgrade my old Nikon D70 to a newer model. I get very impetuous sometimes and shop impulsively. This is an example of that as I got swept up in the buzz over the new Canon EOS 450D Rebel XSi. In an impulse I went and bought an XSi and two lenses.
From the get go I had problems. It didn't fit in the hand as well as my Nikon. That I could overlook because it is after all a much smaller body. But then I started experiencing many of the focus issues that I now see popping up over in that forum. It wasn't consistent in focusing at all. Sometimes nothing in the frame was in focus, even though it attained focus-lock. Then I noticed that high-contrast shot were blowing out the highlights - badly! I was beginning to realize I preferred the more compressed (histogram-wise) exposure I got from Nikon.
Well, today I am a much happier camper. I just returned the XSi and bought a Nikon D60 DSLR, with the kit lens. Perfect exposures, razor sharp shots, and this camera fits in my hand.
Thank you Nikon. Thank you.
