CANON D60 CAMERA Review one of the best CANON D60 Product find out where to get the best deal on CANON D60

What SLR should I get: Nikon D80, D40x, D60, or Canon EOS Rebel?

Sep 02, 2008 by Andy | Posted in Cameras

Serious hobby only, not for professional use (beginner, entry-level).What does it mean when they say "body only"? Does that mean I need to purchase lens separately? Or is any unit I buy fully equipped as a standard set? Thanks

D80 = D60 + Support for old lenses that don't have a motor drive of their own. So you won't need a D80 anyway.

For a beginner like me, choosing between D60 and D40 would be a matter of cost vs. some fine features. (D60 comes to $950+ with a 135mm lens, D40 comes to $750+ with a 135mm lens). I am thinking of going for a D60.

I don't know about EOS Rebel.

I do not know which to choose
Please tell me
DP Review has given the same ratings for D40 and D60

It's a given that both are good cameras, why don't you go to an electronics or camera store and handle and play with both of them. Chances are one will feel better in your hand and you will like the layout better on one. I think canon's layout makes it more user friendly but that is probably because that is what I shoot with.

Nikon d60 or Canon EOS Rebel XSi?

Nov 14, 2008 by Mariusz | Posted in Cameras

I'm going to buy my first SLR camera soon. which one would You recommend Nikon d60 or Canon EOS Rebel XSi and why?

Rebel XSi!!

I used one previously and i have experience with canon and olympus. The Rebel has all the same functions, but they are easier to access. Plus the rebel has a Tungsten light function that that gives you a more-white, less-yellow image without flash. I used one at an art gallery open and I took some wicked pictures.

Would you buy the Nikon D60, or Canon EOS Rebel XS?

Mar 08, 2009 by shell | Posted in Cameras

This is my first SLR. I am very creative and have an excellent eye, but am not technically trained. I would like to capture portraits and landscapes in more detail and want to be able to take photos at night.

I don't know much about cameras and would appreciate any insight. Thanks!!

Sony A200k, nikon d60 or canon eos 400d?

Dec 02, 2008 by curly_verymuch | Posted in Cameras

I'm about to purchase my first slr camera and of course i want it to be the one that is really good.

So can you help me firgure out what to buy? I'm actually buying it online.. like on credit and stuff.

The prices are:
Sony A200k - from £565 now £385

Nikon d60 - £ 525.00

Canon EOS 400d - £649

I heard that the best one to purchase is the Canon one.. So I dunoo really which one is really the best buy..

The Sony gives you the best bang for buck by far compared to a fairly dated but still good Nikon d60, and the difference between price for the 450d is definitely not worth it IMO.

You can get the SONY a200 from amazon with twin lens kit 18-70mm + 75-300mm for £402

All 3 are very capable cameras take a look at the pictures people have taken with them on flickr:

You won't be disappointed with any of them, my personal choice would be the a200 though.

Which camera Canon EOS 450D or Nikon D60?

Aug 19, 2008 by minniema10 | Posted in Cameras

I am due to start a photography course in sept and need a d-slr camera but can't decide between these two camera's. Which is the better the camera for beginners? Also are Tamron lens any good?
Any help appreciated thanks

Canon and Nikon are both fine makes of cameras, although Canon tend to lead in development and Nikon tend to follow.

I would tend to buy proprietary lenses I have a Canon digital slr, so I have bought Canon lenses particularly the white lenses, having said that I have a tamron 100 to 300 zoom lens which is a nice piece of glass however my 70 to 200 mm white canon lens is a superb lens, is a far better lens than the Tamron , how ever it also cost a lot more. Like wise I also have a white Canon 400 mm prime lense and that is a superb lens. I have gone for the faster lenses in my others such as an 85 mm f2 and a 24 to 120 mm f2 zoom.

However go to a shop that sells both makes of camera and try similar lenses for each make and see what you find easier to use, that really is the best way to choose

Canon EOS XSI vs 30D vs Nikon D60 vs D80?

Apr 07, 2008 by James K | Posted in Cameras

I know the xsi and D60 are the newest cameras out there but is it better to buy a late model slr camera like the 30D or D80?

I know cameras arent a fashion statement. I wanted to know if the difference in technology (because of the age gap) will affect the image quality (xsi digic 3 compared to 30D's digic 2 processor)

The xsi is nowhere from 600-800 but more like 800-1000
The D60 is at least 700
And i did find a 30D body for 800 and a d80 kit for 900
none of these cameras are over 1000

Yeah, what Saeed said.

Just to reiterate:

The Canon 30D is a cut above the other cameras in your list. It has a metal body vs. plastic; it can shoot 5 frames per second vs. 3; and it has a few extra knobs and buttons to change settings on the fly whereas with the other cameras you'd have to change more settings in the menu. These are the features that make the 30D a better and more expensive camera. Not the image quality. That's the same.

The Canon XSi is positioned between the 2 Nikons in your list. Being the newest camera of the bunch (so new you that you have to get on a waiting list), it has a couple of extra bells & whistles. The most important of which, is that you can use the LCD screen on the back to compose your shot. With the other cameras, you can only use the optical viewfinder for this.

The D80 is aimed towards serious amateurs. It's a better all-around camera than the XSi... if you don't need the live view feature.

And the D60 is a very decent but basic entry level camera.

These four cameras all produce roughly the same image quality. The price difference is mostly determined by the extra features. The Canon/ Nikon lens and accessory range is also about equal - they both have everything you could possibly need, from entry level to professional.

If you want to read in-depth reviews per camera (except for the XSi which is too new), the best camera sites on the net are:
steves-digicams dot com and dpreview dot com
(There's some kind of new bug on this site that won't allow me to post links.)

which SLR camera should i get?

Jan 09, 2009 by cleavon_flojo | Posted in Photography

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi EF-S 18-55
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=14257#BoxContentsAct


or

Nikon D60
http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25438/D60.html

Because both cameras are excellent cameras, you will have to go into a camera store and hold each in your hands to see which one you like the best ergonomically. Next you will have to navigate through the menus and see which is easiest for you to make changes in things like ISO, WB, resolution (RAW, JPEG or RAW + JPEG) and other commonly adjusted settings.

Then you will know.

Digital SLR Question?

Dec 16, 2008 by theshivies | Posted in Photography

I was interested in buying a digital SLR. There are so many different brands, I don't know which one to choose. I have it narrowed down to 5 choices which are in my price range. The four are the:

- Sony alpha 200
-Olympus E - 510
-Nikon D60
-Canon EOS Rebel XSi

In your opinion, which is the best camera? (Hands on experience cited would be nice).

I don't think you would go wrong with either the Nikon or the Canon. I am a nikon person I have several Nikon SLR and DSLR and have used them since the 70's. The first one I bought still works as well as it did the day I bought it. In addition right now Nikon has the best backwards compatibility on lenses and the best performance for low noise at hight ISO. Some folks will tell you that you should not get canon or nikon because the image stabilization is in the lens and not the body. IS/VR in the lens has proved to work better with a lower impact on focusing time than IS in the camera. When its in the camera the stabilization has to move a different amount for each focal length lens. And with a long lens a canon white paper says in body systems would have to move up to 1/4 inch. None of them move that much.

Enjoy whatever camera you get
