WDYT of this camera?
I want to upgrade my camera to a nicer point and shoot but DH said he would rather pay more now and get something that I won't have to keep upgrading every few years or so.
Re: WDYT of this camera?
Which Nikon is that? We're buying a new one tomorrow probably and are between the Nikon D3000 and the Canon Rebel XSI.
At Sams, the Nikon D3000 is only $479. The Rebel is $599. Hence our debating. We always wanted the Rebel, but if we got the Nikon then we could also get a new TV for the living room.
it's a great entry level camera, and you can always upgrade your glass for better quality later.
christen, i compared the two cameras you're talking about - the xsi has two more megapixels than the d3000, and the xsi has liveview - you can use it like a point and shoot camera and take pics looking at the back of the screen or through the viewfinder. the d3000 doesn't have live view.
the xsi shoots a little faster in rapid sequences - 3.5 frames per second compared to 3 with the nikon. makes a difference if you are chasing after a kiddo and snapping fast.
if you plan to get better lenses in the future, go with the canon. the L series lenses can't be matched by anything nikon makes.
Nikons and Canons are like, the top line for dSLRs. I've talked to many photog friends about Nikon vs. Canon and they say it's basically personal preferance. Nikon is a great brand, but once you buy that brand, you should stick with it as far as lens purchasing is concerned. You can't put a Nikon lens on a Canon body, KWIM?
You should probably go to a Best Buy and feel both brands out to see which one you would feel more comfy with.
Personally, I've used Canon's for years, so when I'm ready to upgrade to a dSLR, I'm most definitely going with Canon.
Hope that helps!
