HELLO! For my sixteenth birthday I want to ask my parents for my first SLR digital camera! I've read and watched reviews on both of them and now I'm having trouble choosing! I believe they are around the same price range, about 550.00 to 600.00 I believe, and seem to both have great picture quality. Now I I have to choose one and I'm wondering if anyone with photographic/camera interest would recommend one more than the other? Please and thank you! Here are the links to the cameras:
