I just heard about this new Nikon D3000...
I know everyones Nikon bashing right now but it seems like a great deal for a beginner DLSR...
Under $600us too... |

:haha: I cant imagine!
thanks for the adivce everyone! vince I will def check that place out! I saw a package deal for the D90 at best buy for $1200 (camera, lens, strap, bag, charger, etc...) I will def compare prices!
cro: You are putting up a good argument, because colors are extremely important in the photos I want to take. Right now I am simply starting off with the travelling photo-taking, as I have 3 big vaca's coming up in the next 9 months. But afer that I would love to get into scenery. I have rarely taken photos of my own city and will probably start there, and of course at my home on the lake. I am assuming I will need a decent zoom lens for that (but what do I know, I just started reading up on this stuff a week ago). :conf:
sooo what people are saying is the 50D and the 5D are better than Nikons? in what ways?
^Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get this right as its a decent amount on money!!
:tongue2 |

did you check www.dpreview.com ? ?they have excellent and thourough reviews of all the dslrs we are talking about.
You honnestly can't go wrong with either ones, but I still prefer Canon for their lenses and they served me very well all those years. |

The 50D is a few hundred dollars more than the D90, closer to the D300 price.
If you are wanting to spend the little extra I would go with the just new released Nikon D300s.
As far as the 5D, that is out of your price range.
EDIT: ^^ the website malek posted is great info.. |

I was mentionning a used 5D, which should be under a 1000$.
Obviously not the new 5D mk2 which rocks and is sitting proudly on my desk:toothless :toothless :toothless |

I got a Nikon D60 for christmas with 2 lenses. i exchanged it 4 days later for a canon xsi with an 18-200 lens. soooo much better and i dont have to swap or carry around lenses like a doof. its perfect for what i need it for as of now....
if you were a beginner i would start with a canon xti! |

I already have a nice Canon RebelG 35mm, so I want to get another Cannon DSLR so that I can utilze those lenses...
I have accumalated a load of airmiles and can't think of what to do with them, saw recently that they have a Canon EOS Rebel XS for 5,200 miles....
What are you thoughts on that one?
They gots a Nikon too, but again, want to utlize my lenses from the 35mm... |
