The one I use is DPReview http://www.dpreview.com/ Under the Buying Guide tab at the top there is a pull down menu that offers a number of choices...one is Side by Side Comparison of both cameras or lenses.

Unfortunately one of the key features that these really tech specs comparisons cant handle is How the camera feels in my hands! For me this is a key element in the purchase decision. If it doesnt feel right then I dont buy it. I dont like the controls on the Canon, especially the large twiddly circular dial on the back, which is why I have stuck with Nikon as in reality there is little to choose between them other than handling preferences.

Kathy, Basically, there are too many features and everbody weighs them in a different manner. When I was a write for a dutch-language magazine, I used to make such charts, and only included those items I thought were interesting for me an my readers. My advise would be: download all the brochures and user manuals. re: How the camera feels JK is right, just go to a shop and pick up (physically) a D3nnn-to-D810 and any single digit Nikon camera (D1/2/3/4) and you will feel the difference. On the other hand, some people with more modest sized hands than mine may prefer a smaller camera (grin). Regards, Gilbert.

Well I have large hands Gilbert but the little Fuji cameras seem to fit them very well. I have XT1, XE1, XPro1 and X100. The one with the best feel in my hands is the XPro1 but the best features are in the XT1. Still waiting for the perfect camera!

I was fondling them both at WEX last week while waiting for them to value my Nikon gear.

Might I also suggest byThon. Thom is very knowledgeable about all things photographic and Nikon. If you have the time reading his back articles will catch you up on the latest in gear and help decide a suitable type of kit. He's also American so his sources are close to home. http://www.bythom.com/

That's an excellent choice Kathy, I find the D200 perfect for my needs. I do lust for a D3 and one day I may get one, once they loose their appeal to the masses and their value reaches my level...  I have a D3100 with an 18-105 lens which is doing the bulk of my snapshot photography at the moment but I regard the D200 as my 'good' camera for taking 'proper' photographs. One of the features of the D200 which I use a lot is the ability to set the lens info of old manual lenses in the Menu so the camera works better with them and their info is recorded in the EXIF data. Good luck with the camera and hope the shoulder is mending OK.
