If I was looking for a Nikon DSLR with video, I'd consider the Nikon D3100

Unfortunately, all DSLR's are bigger, but the Nikon seemed smaller to me than the other brands
I still love my Nikon D40 (even if it doesn't have all the bells and whistles or video)
I take a canon p&s for days when I want to carry a small camera (with video capability) but it doesn't have a huge zoom.
Hope this helps?![]()
Thanks! But I have to really really have to stretch my reality (and resources) to even consider 500... 650 isn't even in my universe!
But ya, nice!
