Nikon D80 70-300MM vs Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2MP 18-55mm

[klepon]

Hi Guys,

I need some buying advice. I've got an option to buy either a used Nikon D80 with a 70-300MM lens or a new Canon EOS Rebel T3 with a 18-55MM lens. What would be a better choice? They are both selling for $350..

I'd like to take mostly landscape, macro & bokeh shots. My intent is to use the shots for websites. I'm very new to this and would love your guys' advice =)

Thanks

totally different lenses
what exactly is the nikon 70-300 lens?
is it a nikkor do you have more info
the D80 was a pretty good camera

the old canon 18-55 is crap and basically worthless as far as value goes you can buy them for almost nothing
pretty much the same for the nikon kit lens too

why are you limiting yourself to those options

for $350
this kills both those options a million times over as the glass is pretty damn good much better than the old 18-55 canon lens or the old nikkor one too.
