Hello, I’m thinking of buying a new dSLR. But I been debating on which one to get.
If I get the D3100 Body I will get the 18-55/55-200 kit
and if I get the D90 I will just get the basic kit of 18-105 vr
Price for either is reasonable, so I’m not worrying about that.
I’m thinking more about which one will be better in the long run.
I know the D3100 is only an entry level, but my previous camera was a D60 which was also an entry level, it also lasted me almost 4 years.
So I am looking to purchase a new DSLR. My family owns a Nikon D70, which I have used and learned with, but at this point I want to have my own entry level dslr. The three cameras I am leaning towards are either the d40 or d60 or the new canon model, the XS (1000D). I am a fairly new photographer, and am looking on a new dslr to learn and get some experience with. From what I have looked into, I have been told Canon has an advantage with a larger variety of lenses to purchase. Besides that, it has either been get Nikon or get Canon, because, well, they are fans of the brand. Are there any other factors I should consider? Any other input you guys have would be great. Thanks

I’ve been shopping around for my first DSLR and it seems the best fits for my price range are the D60 and the D80. Used, it looks like I can find the D80 for about 0 more than the D60. I know the D60 is a more entry-level camera and the D80 is more mid-range, but I could use some clarification on what capabilities the D80 has beyond the D60 and whether, in your opinion, it’s worth the extra cost.
Video of my little entry level DSLR camera setup I have. The D60 is easy to use and takes great pictures. The SB600 is also easy to use and very intelligent.
This is a unboxing and first look of the Nikon Nikkor 50mm D 1.4f lens. This is lens is great for portrait pictures and low light shots. The AF-Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4D is Nikon’s current version of their fast ’standard’ prime lens, and while this specific model was introduced in 1995, the basic optical design dates back to the manual focus 50mm 1:1.4 AI of 1977. It features a traditional layout of 7 elements in 6 groups utilizing spherical surfaces only, which Nikon claims will deliver distortion-free images with superb resolution and colour accuracy, plus high contrast even at maximum aperture. The 50mm focal length classes it as a ’standard’ lens on the FX format, with none of the ‘perspective distortion’ characteristic of wideangle or telephoto lenses, whilst on the vastly more popular and widespread DX format it behaves like a short telephoto, ideal for portraiture. The 50mm 1:1.4 is one of the older lenses in Nikon’s lineup, and this is reflected in several aspects of its design. The lens features a traditional aperture ring, which will no doubt be appreciated by photographers who grew up with mechanical manual-focus 35mm SLRs such as the FM range (although the only DSLRs on which it can actually be used are the high-end D1-D3 and D100-D700 bodies); however autofocus is ’screw-drive’ from the camera body, and therefore won’t work on the entry-level D40, D40xThe 50mm 1:1.4 is one of the older lenses in Nikon’s lineup, and this is reflected in several aspects of its design …

Okay, so I wanna get a DSLR and this would be my first purchase of a DSLR, although I do have some experience using DSLRs. I’m on a tight budget and am of course going for an entry level DSLR and aren’t so stupid as to *not* go with Canon or Nikon. Looking at specs and reviews, I see the Rebel XS to be superior over the D40 and D60 and is also much worth the price (I’m looking on bhphotovideo.com). But what I want to know is what will be better in the long run like I understand that what I choose in the beginning will affect what I will stick with in the future, so I want to know what will benefit me better if I choose to upgrade as I get better or find a need for a better camera in the future: Canon or Nikon.
