silverwave,
I think it would be rather challenging to answer which camera brand is the best ler. hehehe For older Nikon dSLR's, like my D70, the high ISO shots without flash just doesn't cut it la. But for Canon, it cuts out good. hehe In a way, it's got it's own pro's and con's. For me, if I find myself shooting indoor and in low light conditions most of the time, I'd go for a Canon. Actually ar... Canon seems to have a bit more advantages over Nikons ler. And Canon stuff is cheaper too. And more lens too. hehe
Why not go to the shop, play around with both the brands. You don't have to worry about troubling those people as long as you're nice to them. I mean, hey, we're paying thousands of RM's so we ought to have time to fiddle with it enough to make a final decision ler. hehe
