Canon EOS Rebel XS 10.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera - Black (Body Only)

Ever since I started using a Canon camera (the old F model of the late Sixties), I have followed the rule that it is better to spend one's money on good glass than slightly better body quality. I chose this model over the XSi because of the price difference. The two megapixels more was not worth the $155.00 extra to me, and a year of use confirms my decision. As does the comparison by Bob Atkins. The dollars I saved went to buying a 7D this year, a major body quality upgrade, and the dollars saved from buying that rather than a 5D are going toward another first class lens. Make no mistake, this is a first class camera for almost any kind of photography. It is five star quality all the way across the board, and I recommend it highly to anyone on a tight budget.Get more detail about Canon EOS Rebel XS 10.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera - Black (Body Only).

Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black) Review

I love this camera now, even though it is a dinosaur in terms of its age in a world where technology advances rapidly.

When I first bought this camera in 2007, it had early problems freezing and giving error codes. After performing all the recommended tests & resets, it kept failing. I actually used the camera very little early on and, thus, forgot about the errors. Once I started using the camera regularly again and taking more still photos, I had run out of warranty coverage. So, it cost me a few hundred send the camera back to Canon to repair what was a manufacturing and/or chipset defect.

Once the repair was made, the camera operated flawlessly and still does to this day. Although this model is no longer current, I wanted to add my review for anyone who might be trying to buy one used. Be aware that this model had known issues with freezing as I mentioned above. If that has been repaired, then it is an otherwise excellent camera for the entry-level or intermediate SLR user.Get more detail about Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Black).

I bought Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP Digital SLR Camera kit together with Opteka Battery Pack Grip kit (with Charger, 2 LP-E5 Batteries (3600 mAh Total), Wireless Remote, Cleaning Kit, & Mini Tripod). I seemed to have unlimited shooting power even with hours performance recording (change 2-battery set once). They are very good product designs and features. The only thing I hope to change so far is quick zoom in and out like camcode during recording instead of physically turnning the lens to bring subject closer.Get more detail about Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) with Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS + 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens + 16GB Card + LP-E5 Battery + Case + Accessory Kit.

Buy Sony Alpha DSLR-A300K/N 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Gold)

This is my first DSLR, and I am very happy with it. I was looking into getting the Sony Alpha 330, but after doing research I found the the 330 actually has less features(it is lacking a port for a shutter release remote, manual white balance adjustment, and less buttons that make key features much harder to change) and is just simply smaller. So the 300 is really the same as the 330 with more features, and if you do some shopping, much cheaper(in my case over $100). Overall the 300 is a great camera but does have its pros and cons as all cameras.

Pros:
Live View-the live view system that sony uses is probably the best live view system on the market as it does not pause to capture the image. I love the live view, it saves me a ton of time using manual settings messing with aperature and exposure. My girlfriend has a 200 and spends a lot of time playing with settings and taking test photos. The live view is also very nice if you have glasses as well.

Image stabilization in camera-This is very nice because you don't have to shell out big bucks for image stablized lenses like with canon and nikon.

Uses Minolta Maxxim lenses-the ability to use Minolta Maxxim lenses means there is a ton of affordable used glass out there, many that are unchanged from the current sony offerings.

Takes good images-The 300 has a nice balance of speed and image quality.

Flip up/flip down lcd- Awesome feature that is usually only found in higher end cameras.

Cons:
High noise at ISO over 400- I won't shoot at ISO over 400 because of the noise.

Smart teleconverter-This feature is a neat idea but is nothing more than digital zoom and degrades the image so you really can't crop afterwards if you use this feature.

Lcd screen sticks out-The screen sticks out quite a bit when folded in, not a huge deal but will smudge from your face if you use the OFV, I would suggest the lcd screen protector made by sony so you don't scratch the screen.

Overall the Sony 300 is a great camera for the money, you get a lot more for less money then you would with some other manufacturers offerings.
