I have a Canon Rebel xs but I am looking to upgrade. I am looking at the T3i and the Nikon D3000 but I am open to other options (under ,300) What is the best entry-mid level DSLR?

Canon EOS 1000D/Rebel XS
Canon EOS 1100 D/Rebel T3
Nikon D3100

I’m making the switch from point and shoot to DSLR. I’m not a professional photographer but I want to take quality photos, preferably with video capablitiy but I know the Canon Rebel XS does not have it.
Even so, I’d like to know which of the 3 would be the best all-around camera. I’m not familiar with the photography terms but by "best all-around" I mean that the camera can capture
- decent/good motion/action shots
– detailed landscape shots
– clear night/city shots
– portrait shots

If you have other camera suggestions that are similar to those that I listed, then feel free to list them. But the budget is around 0.

Thanks!

I’m 14 and as a late birthday present, my parents decided to get me a DSLR because of my interest in photography. I really didn’t want them to spend too much and I’ve had my eyes stuck on 2 cameras.
The Canon Rebel XS:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CBKJGG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AHVUXX1NUM5OB Which I will be able to get for 0.

The Fujifilm FinePix S4000: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HO58O8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A29PHU0KPCGV8S Which I can get for 0.

I know most recommend the XS, but what is different about the S4000 other than a non-removable super-zoom lens?

I am going into a entry level college photography class and I need to get a camera. I am a college student so budget is a main issue. Also, thoughts on getting a refurbished camera would be very appreciated. These are the cameras that I have been looking at:

Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)

Nikon D3000 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode

Any information will be helpful, Thanks!

I’m thinking of getting an entry-level DSLR, and I’ve narrowed my search to the Canon Rebel XS and Nikon D3000. I have looked at the specs for each online, but hopefully someone who reads this has actually used both of the cameras. I take frequent night shots, and the Rebel seems to be the best for that, but all of the other features (besides CMOS in the Rebel) seem to favor the Nikon D3000.

I like the 11 point autofocus, battery life, LCD size, in-camera editing, and the airflow control system for dust in the Nikon, and the CMOS, live view, powerful strobe flash, and mirror lock up for the Rebel. The biggest issue I have with my current Panasonic Lumix is grain (I guess it’s common for this camera :/ ) so I want the camera that will produce the best quality (lowest grain) shots both during the day and at night (lots of good night shot opportunities in Arizona), and also the camera that will offer the most as I get better at photography.

If you can help me sort out which camera will be the best for my needs, I’d appreciate it. Overall, both seem to be pretty similar and I’m sure I can’t go wrong either way.
Also, the cheapest I’ve seen these cameras are about 0-0 online. Let me know of any upcoming sales or websites with cheaper prices!

I’m trying to decide what camera to buy for my first DSLR. My budget is ~0 for a kit that includes a lens also. I’ve narrowed it down to the Canon Rebel T3 and the Nikon D3100. Any suggestions or feedback? Thanks!

I am a college student, majoring in art photography, and I’m trying to figure out what the next camera I should get should be. Right now I have a Canon Rebel k2 slr, and my Dslr is a Canon Xsi. Both very much entry level.
I got my K2 I believe at the beginning of my sophomore year of high school, so I’ve had it for almost 4 years. My Xsi I’ve had for almost 2 years. I am starting to save up for a new dslr and film slr because I am going to be getting into more advanced photography classes for my major and will soon need to start building up my portfolio to submit for portfolio review to get into the BFA at my school.
Just so you have an idea of my future plans as a photographer and what I’m into, I prefer working with film, which is why mostly I need to figure out which film I should get, and I already know what digital im getting next. I don’t do that much action photography, I see myself mostly getting a little into photojournalism, but mostly in constructed work, performance art, and portraiture. I also need to stick with Canon because it’s all I’ve used, it’s the only lenses I have, and I am just so much more drawn to what canons produce aesthetically.
When I get a new film slr, I want it to be really good quality. It needs to travel with me through the rest of college (4+ more years), and even after, and needs to help me produce the kind of professional work I will be striving for.
I am open to any price range, so if you answer, let me know what price range your suggestions are in. If you have any experience with more professional canon slr’s, let me know about it, especially if you have a flickr where I could see some examples. Send me the link!
I would greatly appreciate anybody’s input, gotta start saving up!
Remember, I’m an art student and will be doing professional work, so it needs to be high quality!
Thanks so much!!
