Canon 450D or Nikon D90?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D90 DX Monday Jul 6, 2009I’ll be straight, becose any photographer or amatuer who likes photography will know what I’m saying. The Nikon D90 comes with the standard AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens and costs around 1200 $ and the CANON 450D comes with the together with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS and costs around 950 $ where I live now. Should I go for the 450D with one extra lens or should I go for the "movie maker" D90? Or should I go for the new Canon 500D, also a "movie maker" but with only one lens (18-55 IS)? Please help me before I spend my money on something else and end up with neither of them!
Youre answers will be very much apreciated!
Thank you!
The D90 is a better camera than either of the Canon models. It is better built and in a higher class. The 450D is more like the D60.
For a beginner I would recommend you go with a cheaper camera and an extra lens. You will soon realize that you want another lens regardless of the camera you choose. Image quality has much more to do with the lens you use than the camera you use anyway.
If you really want the video feature which from my understanding isn’t great look at the Canon 500D and the Nikon D5000. These cameras are in the same class.
i recommend Canon EOS 500D(Rebel T1i) 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
# New 15.1-megapixel CMOS sensor with DIGIC 4 Image Processor

# Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution; HDMI output
# 3.0-inch Clear View LCD; Live View Function for stills (Quick, Live and Face Detection AF modes) and video
