Which digital SLR camera would you reccommend for a beginner...? |
Who has never played with SLRs before and who is looking for very good image quality and who is also on a budget? I really would prefer that it be under $500. Not over $600. I'm not picky with anything else really, I just need really good image quality. Maybe this is a little vague, but just give me some cameras :D and links would be helpful. I would say a nikon D40X or a nikon D60 the D40x and D60 are almost identical except the D60 comes with a few ore features like a sensor cleaner and a accelerometer . Both are excellent cameras and are relatively affordable How about a DSLR with a 18-55mm lens for under $500? I use Olympus myself. I have an E-300 and it works great, produces excellent images. Olympus has been making cameras for decades. They are a late comer to the DSLR market, but have shown great growth in market share. Olympus cameras tend to be a little less expensive and are considered a better value. Check out the Olympus E-510 at http://www.dpreview.com/. The E-510 is a 10MP camera with in body anti-shake. You can get this camera with lens for under $600.00 now. Nikon D40x,, the best! The Nikon D40 and D40x have very user-friendly interfaces and menus, and picture quality sort of lacks that of Canon's EOS Rebel Series. Your choice on lens for the D40s is limited to about a handful. On the other hand, the Canon EOS Rebel XT and XTi which compete with the D40 and D40x are probably my favorite pick. My first SLR was a D40x and and switched it for an EOS Rebel XTi and I'd have to say the XTi is a lot better than the D40x. The Rebel XTi has less noise at higher ISOs than the D40x and it is very customizable compared to the D40x. In terms of lenses, the EOS Rebel XTi is compatible with almost all lenses Canon has to offer, that's over 50 lenses. Nikon's RAW format is also very annoying to deal with (if you plan on shooting RAW). Canon's RAW files are very simple to manage. I believe the Rebel XTi's battery life is greater than the D40x if I could remember. I'm not saying which is better, it's more of your pick. Go to a local electronics store and try both to see which you like better. Since Nikon introduced the D60 recently and Canon is unvailing the EOS Rebel XSi, the prices on the D40, D40x, EOS Rebel XT, and Rebel XTi have gone down amazing since I bought mine a year ago. The price for an EOS Rebel XT and Nikon D40 range from the mid $400's to low $500's. On the other hand, the EOS Rebel XTi and Nikon D40x range from $500-600ish. And just so you know the Nikon D40x is the predecessor of the D40. The D40 has a 6.1 Megapixel sensor, whereas the D40x has a 10.2 Megapixel sensor, and both have 2.5" LCDs and come with the same 18-55mm Nikkor AF-S DX kit lens (if you purchase the kit). The Canon EOS Rebel XTi is the predecessor of the EOS Rebel XT with a 10.1 Megapixel sensor and 2.5" LCD with the EF-S 18-55mm II lens (if you buy the kit). The Rebel XT has an 8.1 Megapixel sensor, 1.8" LCD, EF-S 18-55mm lens (if you buy the kit). Visit your local dealer and get 'hands on' with both cameras. See which fits your hands better. easier to use? This would be perfect |
