I have the Nikon, and have been very happy with it. Takes great pictures, easy to use for the most part.

The one thing I am not happy with, is that the autofocus takes some time to zone in, which makes it difficult to get action shots. There may be something in the manual that I haven't found yet, but the camera requires a second or so for the autofocus to 'set', and until then, it won't shoot. So you can't just point and shoot it, or at least I haven't figured that out yet. This makes it hard, for example, to shoot a shot of a jumping fish. You can manage this, by pointing the camera and paritally depressing the shutter button, which causes the focus to set, and then hit the button when you want the shot. But that's a bit less convenient than my old film cameras.

Other than that, I'm in love with it. For grip and grin fish pictures, it is great.
