canon is good, but in the same price range you can get an olympus camera with better specs.... the olympus is tempting actually this sony is also looking like a good deal http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10099405&catid=20222 i know canon is pretty much the best, but for that price range i can only find the 8 MP rebel. or i could go with a nikon D40, but that only has 6 MP, which seems way too crappy for that amount of money anyway. guess il just look for some reviews on sony's alpha lineup.. wonder how it compares to the Canon lineup
I don't trust Sony with cameras. When a company does too many things at one time, more often than not they will drop the ball. Megapixels are meaningless when it comes to SLR, the higher the megapixel count the larger the image is when you take the shots. It's all about the sensor, in this category, Canon can't be beat.
i saw some comparison shots at high ISO, the canon does look much better around 1600, but at lower ISO like 400, the photo quality looks almost completely the same. the sony also packs in alot more features like anti-shake and anti-dust systems. id definitely be tempted by the alpha 200, especially cuz iv used sony cameras in the past and can use my memory stick pro duos in there
Canon also sports the same feature. However with Canons, the image stabilization features are built into the lens. Also, the XTi sports a self cleaning sensor.
ye i have to agree with kontra, once u have a camera with enough megapixels, i say 6-7 is about fine for most size photos, its then about the sensitivity of the lens, and quality of lens, as it will then be down to that which determines whether the quality of the photo is gd.
^ it comes with a compact flash adapter for memory stick duo's also sony's alpha 300 lineup has also been released which has alot of pretty slick features as well, but the pricing is about 800 dollars, which puts it out of the budget range. maybe by christmas time the 300 will drop in price to around $500... but i doubt it, im probably just gonna be looking between the rebel and the a200
yea bbes got it. 6-7 is more than enough, cuz seriously, who needs 8-10 MP? thats as big as a poster.. a regular photo print only needs 3-4 MP.
That Sony camera is awesome, i was just gona post a thread asking for a good SLR but after seeing this DSLR this is the way to go. Actually it has no live view which is a MUST, ill check the A3000 and XTI IMO this is the best one LINK
Some question if someone know about it i have a 450D canon eos but if i want to make a photo of a object i want it not to only focus on the center but on the whole object is that possible??? If yes how because i can only get the middle sharp
