Should I buy a Canon Digital Rebel XTI?
I need a new camera and I dont know which one to get I know that want a single canon deffinitley digital, so coming through the Rebel XTi is a good camera? Is it easy to work with it? how are the features? I am open to any other Canon camera.
It is a great camera. This is one of the responses from me and that favors the Nikon, but you can read the article and see all the good things about the Rebel XTi the same. The XTi has always been the top selling digital SLR almost since its introduction. http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/4584/top-selling-digital-slrs-for-july.html (July is the latest list compiled.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The February 2007 issue of Macworld has an article which compares the 10 MP DSLR. Tome scores and ranked the cameras similar to the way Formula 1 gives championship points. I just gave 5 for 1st place a 1 in last place, splitting the difference when cameras tied in their categories. Assessed image quality (giving double weight to this more than anything else), ease of use, control and flexibility of the system. The final order and my results are as follows: Nikon D80 – 17.5 points – best in picture quality, system control and flexibility Canon Rebel XTi (400D) – 13.5 points – Tied Best in the system's flexibility Pentax K10D – 11 points – Tied for best in Ease of Use Samsung GX10 – 11 points – Tied for best in ease of use Sony Alpha 100 to 7 points – LAST in image quality, ease of use and flexibility of the system. "Moreover, it is the same magazine that put the Sony Alpha 100 dead last in this comparison is the name of the camera of the year in the last edition! (In a follow up this apparent error, Pop Photo published the explanation that only the D80 and the Sony has been tested by the end of his term of years for the election of the chamber of the Year. Sony won on the strength of lower prices, and built in image stabilization. The other 3 that beat Sony in penalty kicks were not tested until after the House of the Year was selected, because they were not yet available.) Go to question original and read the responses of more opinions. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index; _ylt = AiG00eHyd0oq5b.X7J.jiULzy6IX? qid = If you want to get 20070113133139AAHWJY0 the "best" for the real world, consider the Nikon D200 or Canon 30D if you can afford. For around $ 300-500 less, look at the results of the recent PopPhoto test and choose from the list according to your taste. Personally, I use a Nikon D200 and would recommend it without hesitation to someone who has knowledge of photography. For someone who wants the "The best", but from something of an entry level "knowledge base, I'd suggest the Nikon D80. There are people out there that would indicate its preference for Canon cameras and I will not argue with them. The Canon 30D and 400D are excellent cameras as well. Will need to visit a photo shop or camera department and pick them up and see what you think. This article is available online at: http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/3569/10mp-dslr-shootout.html Here's another reference from outside of the photographic press. Consumer reports about the Nikon D80, Canon Rebel XTi and Sony Alpha. Personally, I would say that the Nikon came out on top here, too. It is better than Sony in "noise-free ISO" with a rating acceptable to ISO 1600 (kind of optimism, I think …) compared to the Sony ISO 400. It is best the Canon (in my opinion) to have a spot meter that the Canon does not offer.

Htm [Note - the navigation menu at the top of the review] The next thing to consider is what lens to start, and go from there. If you is new to this, I would say that to get just the "kit" lens, which seems to be the 18-135 lens for D80, and begin. Once you know where you really want to go with your photography, Nikon has an almost unlimited family of lenses to choose from. ~ ~ ~
