Ok its almost as bad as asking Acrylic or enamel
First a little back ground, I currently use a Nikon D5100 I've had it around 3 years and tbh I don't use half of what it could do, in fact I spent 30 mins last night trying to figure out how to change the F rating I should say I have packed the instruction book in a box ready to move house
I was lucky enough to go to the Photography Show at the NEC on Saturday and saw all sorts of wonderful equipment, my original plan was to have taken the money from my house sale and go on a mad shopping spree, sadly the house fell through so I was just window shopping. I a few friends with me and it became obvious that I was out of my depth with what I could get and do with cameras now days, but my main issue is what to go for, one friend uses a Nikon D810 and the other a Canon, I don't recall which.
I tried to see which would be better for me and all I could sum up was that if I went with Nikon I could use one friends lenses.
I do want to upgrade my kit completely and plan to get a lot more active with my photography, be it scale model pictures, wildlife or scenic shots. I know this would mean at least 3 different lens and that's ok but which make Nikon or Canon?
My tech knowledge on them and taking photos is virtually zero so I'm mainly asking what would you choose with a fairly unrestricted wallet?
