You will be pleased with either camera.
Nikon and Canon owners have been arguing for years about who makes the best camera.
When you look at the features side-by-side, they are pretty much the same.
The Canon 20D is 8 megapixels.
The Nikon D70 is 6 megapixels.
That is about all the difference in features.
The Canon 20D will cost about $300 more.
Which is better????
You may be arrested for starting a fight.

Whats a better overall buy? The Canon EOS 20D or Nikon 70D? I am new to photography but will be taking photograhy classes at school and looking for a good dSLR. These are my two finalists.
