I want to buy an SLR to shoot a variety of subjects… animals, people moving. I definitely want the best pictures I can get for my money and was under the impression Nikon was slightly better than Canon, but now I am hearing otherwise. I like to look through the Live view screen vs the view finder and I like shoot with natural light vs flash, but still want a good quality flash. I’ve narrowed it down to the cameras above, how do I choose between the two models?
This site shows these two cameras side by side:

Bottom line, the D300 is an excellent, proven camera. It’s a year old now, and will probably be replaced some time late in 2009.
THe 50D is brand new, but on paper looks to have more resolution, possibly better low light capabilities, but not as good autofocus, metering etc. All depends what you need it for – action shots, robustness etc go to the Nikon. Detail in landscapes, portraits etc go to the Canon.
