Nikon Vs. Canon- what to buy?
I want a DSLR, have been looking for awhile. Today at Target, they had these two cameras, the Nikon D3000 w/ an 18-55mm lens and the Canon EOS Rebel XS with the same size lens. Both were $599, with a $100 target gift card at purchase, and each came with a free lens on top of the 18-55.
First question- is this a good deal? Second, which would you get? I've been leaning towards a Nikon, but liked how the Canon felt in my hands. Opinions??
Re: Nikon Vs. Canon- what to buy?
It sounds like a great deal. My photographer friend recommended both of those cameras. I ended up getting the Nikon D40 (it's similar to the Nikon 3000, but a few years old). So far, I love the Nikon.
Do you know anyone that you could share lenses with? It made sense for me to get a Nikon because my sister already had a Nikon and we can share lenses.
Nikon v. canon is pretty much personal preference. Do they let you try it out at all? The canon you listed is available for $500 elsewhere (or was a few months back), so that doesn't sound like a great deal unless it was actually an XSi. I don't know about nikon pricing.
Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)
Image quality between those two are going to be indistiguishable. I use a Nikon D90 and have used a Canon 400d in the past. Both are great cameras. I personally like Nikon better for DSLRs and Canon better for point & shoots, but it is totally a personal preference.
Buy which one feels best in your hands AND which one you like better as far as controls and menu navigation. Think about which is going to be easiest to change when you're in the middle of shooting something, etc.
Sounds like you ended up with a good camera. I've got a Nikon D80 and just upgraded from a D50, if my step dad weren't a photographer that ran all Nikon I probably would have pondered a different brand but all his 35mm lenses work on my D80 so I can use basically every lens.
FWIW, Nikon and Canon are so very similar that it is a personal choice of which feels better in your hands. Canon gets their Glass from Nikon after all.
