Meaning you can buy just the body? yes
But from a pro point of view, the $$$ difference between the two is usually what sways people to the Nikon. But i've used both and the quality of the Canon is hands down superior.
And I don't believe it's a $300 difference, it's closer to $1000 difference.
The Nikon being $1500 and the Canon being $2500 approx. at the retail level.
Now that being said, that is with a very nice lens on the Canon, maybe that is where you see the $300 difference between the 2 cameras.
Just the body for the Canon is around $1500 retail and you can use the older AF lenses. They just enhance the optical zoom.

TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
