Should I wait for Nikon D3200 release officially or buy the Canon 550D?

Nikon D3200 rumors seems pretty real, and yet the photo has been release… But I love Canon because it's popular and the strap looks nice, I'm considering about Canon 600D but i can't afford it, so choosing 550D… I know my thinking is a little bit weird LOL!

It is official - Nikon's D3200 has been announced. If you look at the Nikon website, you will now find it listed, with sample photos, specifications, and MSRP pricing. And the major retailers; Amazon, Adorama, B&H, etc. Are all accepting pre-orders.

The best estimate is that they will be shipping in 1-2 months.

So whether a D3200 is right for you or not depends on your time frame.

Yes, I agree that buying a camera by how the strap looks or how popular it is seems a bit unconventional (however, the Nikon D3100 is the best selling DSLR in the US).

Many photographers throw away the strap that comes with the camera anyway as they tend to be uncomfortable. Either an upgraded 3rd party strap or a Black Rapid style of sling strap is often the strap of choice. The camera manufacturers know this so they do not put a lot of effort into their straps.

It has a nice looking strap? Seriously?

Get the Canon since its been out its more reliable and Canon is always quality.
