Not gonna happen bro! Went Nikon because their lower-end D-SLRs were cheaper and better-built than Canon's when I bought my D3200. I have a friend with a 700D though and I think it is a improvement on the build quality of the 600/650D (I have friends with those too).

I wasn't very impressed with the 600/650D when I tried them out.

That's because the Rebel series is crap. You need to go EOS (60D, 70D, 7D, 5D, 1D) in order to get good quality from Canon. It's like Dell. The Inspiron's are crap but the Latitude and Precision lines are much better built.

I know. Hence why I bought a Nikon D3200. Cheaper than a 650D and better-built. The Nikons feel really solid, unlike the Canons in that price range.
 
My lens came in today. I am not expert on image quality. so here is a question.
I bought it used, and it is technically in good condition, it does have some dust INside. I already cleaned the glass on the outside. Now I when I open up the aperture all the way, and look through to the light, I can count about 20 tiny dust specs. About the same amount as my other lens. Is this a big problem in image quality. Thanks
 
Try it out and see how the photos come out. I don't think it should be a problem, but it's difficult to tell without actually trying it and seeing how the photos come out really.
 
I don't see anything in the photos, I'm only worried about "noise" that might be unknown ( dust ). I tend to worry about my equipment a lot, thus why everything I own still looks and works like new even still has the protective plastic on it lol
 
Yeah I think it's natural for this stuff to happen. Every time you change the lens you expose the body and lens to dust so of course over time a little bit of dust will accumulate.
 
So, it turns out. The reason the lens had dust in it and wasn't basically new as described ( the AF to MF ring was broken ) was because he sent me the wrong lens! When I contacted the seller, He found out he sent me the wrong lens. The one he had listed and meant to send with the one that just came from Nikon and had a 6 month warranty... So he payed for me to ship my lens back and hes putting the correct one in the mail first thing tomorrow... -_-

Better that than him telling you too bad
 
Definitely. The other day I sold 1 Camera body and 2 lenes to 3 different people. 3 separate packages. Someone one of the buyers received 2 packages from me, so he got a body AND a lens. Thanks to his honesty, he sent it over to the person who was supposed to get it. I did not have tracking, so he could have kept it. It's great that people are honest like that, I know many people who would have just kept it and not said anything.

I made a similar mistake, I sold a particular lens but I shipped a much more expensive lens to him by accident, I agreed to let him keep it for that price if he wanted it, which he did, and he re-bought the lens he meant to buy.

You should have seen my reaction when I went to use the lens I meant to keep, only to discover I shipped the wrong one.

Ouch.. What is your favorite and most used lens? For me I really enjoy the Nikon 18-70mm. Great glass, fast AF, affordable, does everything quite well.

I have two lenses currently, a 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 lens, and use them both pretty equally.
