I am currently using the Canon Rebel XT/350D via my photography class in college. I have found a website that has decently priced cameras, and I have the following options:
The Canon XTI with standard 18-55 Kit Lens
Nikon D40 with the 18-55mm VR kit lens and 55-200mm Lenses
or the Nikon D60 with the 18-55 VR kit lens, all for roughly the same price.
I like the extra lens with the d40, but will the lower MPixels be sufficient?
I basically want to take pictures of everyday things, Extreme sports wont really be my thing, but landscapes, nature, etc will be. Also Macro photos as well. I am wondering which camera will do the trick.
Thanks in advance.

i like DSLR D60 bcoz, its a DSLR camera (actually i know nothing about DSLR). but d pro blame is, it was launched b4 1.5 years. which can b d best 4 me? if der is another digicam. better dan both of these pls tell me. pls help me.

Well I’m into photography and art and I would like a nice beginners camera. I’m not that great with technical stuff..
-Is it semi-easy to understand?
-Too complicated for a first camera?
Any advice would be great, thanks!

for a entry level photographer

I have been using a Conon Powershot SX10is for some time
I have been looking at DSLR cameras
And I feel that the Canon EOS Rebel XSi is the best camera for me
Does anyone have any Hands on experience with it
Or camera suggestions

I have two Canon Rebel SLR cameras. One is digital (about 2 1/2 years old) and the other is about 4 years old and is a film camera. I just realized that my 28-80 lens from my film camera seems to fit on my digital SLR. Is it okay to put it on there? Is there a reason why I should or should not? Thank you for any advice.

This device gives me satisfaction. Initially, the use of automatic modes (auto, portrait, sport …) can become familiar with the handling of the device. It then slid into the other modes (PASM) gently. The picture quality is stunning. Read More…

so i have been playing around with my camera and its a nikon d40. I am trying to figure if it has a timer on it. if it does please tell me thanks.

I’m starting to take photography as a real hobby, spending many weekends out there shooting, and I feel it’s time to change my shooting gear from a canon A520 point & shoot (which surprisingly accepts a lot of manual settings) and my old canon AE-1 (with a tamron 70-280 lens, and the trusty old 50mm prime) to a dSLR. Now I have done quite a lot of research about Nikon and Canon dSLR cameras (Nikon D50 and Canon 350D in particular), and I know both are very good bodies with not-the-greatest kit lenses. And I know that it all comes to lenses when photo quality is considered, and that both manufacturers have excelent lenses. I also know that I’ll stick with the brand I choose now for the next couple of years.

Question: How do Nikon and Canon lens offerings compare together in terms of pricing and quality? To be more specific, if you take two very similar lenses (both in terms of numbers AND optics quality) from each manufacturer, which one would be cheaper? Would this be a general rule?

I would like to buy a DSLR camera for commercial use (in studio and outdoor) but i need a good recommendation. Which of the two is better? Any other model in mind? Please note: I only have about $800-$900 to spend on both camera body and at least 1 lens.
