haha..ya...well, my hubby 'migrated' from nikon to canon. If you see my flickr photo pages, those EUROPE pics are using the NIKON, CANADA is using the CANOON.
but i think hard to compare one-to-one.
if really wanna invest, i think the flash that can bounce off other places (not at the subject - aka baby) is good. so far pics taken using the bounced off flash are nice and sharp. but i always grumble that it's extravagant. ($600+ just for the flash!)
those going HK, the cameras there are abit cheaper - also due to exchange rate. i recall something like the BODY has international warranty, but not the lens.
if u really keen, should check it out. my two cents about warranty is that usually camera will konk out AFTER the warranty. heh.
but really, DSLR is nice for home or location shooting..for on-the-move shots, usually compact point-n-shoot more practical for us.
