Nikon DSLR vs Canon

well looks like what i could see from ebay, the D60 + kit lens are selling from around $300-400 new, and the non-VR version of the 70-300 is $150 new on B&H. you're going to need some extra cash if you want a t2i or 60d.

The 70-300 is the VR model

looks like $500 new for the VR. you're getting closer, the t2i, body only is about $700

Would the switch really be worth it? I want to start getting into videography as well as stick with photography and I don't know whether to stick with Nikon or Canon.

well as of the current canon and nikon lineup, canon's winning in the video department, but nikon's new D7000 is looking pretty solid (although lacking 720p at 60fps, which canon has).

The D60 that you have is capable of taking amazing pictures. If you want to do video, it's a good idea to switch to Canon, but if you do that you have to buy new lenses etc. To get a DSLR video set up it will cost you 3-4K, and you probably don't have that kind of money right now. If I were you, I'd wait for Nikon to release a camera with better video in the next year or so (they easily have the capability of video as good as Canon's, but they don't want to release it on lower end cameras because then they will lose sales for their higher end products). If you stick with Nikon, you don't need new lenses, and it's gonna take you a while to get cash for a video set up anyways.

Thanks for the feedback.

Canon > video
Nikon > photo
