Does it all really come down to personal preference and pretty much the Logo?
Also, i see that the D40 has only 6.1 MP, does that make any difference at all? I mean of course it does, but im just still wondering?
So what is a good starting kit to purchase? Also, can someone maybe give me a list of all the cameras from Nikon and Canon? I cant seem to find one, but i see a bunch of different models, a rebel, a rebel XS, etc, and Nikon D90 or D300. I have no idea where it starts to where it ends.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks


I would like to know everything he just asked as well. Im a rookie and was wondering the same things. Any answers would be appreciated

Quick video shot with the D90. Haven't tried the HD video yet, this is normal quality.



Just messing around with Manual focus.

i've got a sudden urge to get a dslr and get back into taking pictures. I took a photo class and got an slr right before dslr's startedbecoming popular.

http://http://www.bobatkins.com/...os_xsi_vs_xti_vs_40D.html

here's a link i found comparing the XSI vs. the XTI vs. the 40D.

I'm leaning towards the XTI mainly b/c it has more bang for the buck, and I already have a lense from my old rebel as well as a flash and filters.

your choice in brand primarily comes down to the glass you plan on buying. the lenses from one brand are NOT interchangeable with other brands, so choosewhichever brand you think has the lenses you prefer. personally... i loved my Rebel and already have some of the equipment, so i'll just continue get aRebel body in dslr form and keep my current glass other equipment.
 
Damn Santi.....lately I've been getting persuaded to get a Nikon as my next camera...and I never thought I'd go back to that crappy brand. That videowas super clean quality. I am assuming you had to manually focus it the whole time right? I thought that would actually be a dumb thing but for short videos,you can actually do some really interesting stuff.

A shot from last night. I'll get on the theme photo next but people at my work are going to get kind of weirded out so I am sure I will get somethingpretty stupid.

Right now, only the Nikon D90 and the Canon EOS 5D MkII can shoot video. Video is probably going to become a standard feature in all DSLRs soon.

^Fong, Yeah, I was manually focusing but the kit lens that came with the camera is actually pretty decent and has a large comfortable focus ring, and the lensalso has Vibration reduction so shooting videos is easy. Only bad thing is the rolling shutter when you start shooting at longer focal lengths. Its a Jelloeffect which is annoying as hell. Im satisfied with it though, seeing as i bought the camera for Photography.

If you want to switch to Nikon just for video, id suggest maybe looking in to the 5D MKII although its pricey, or wait it out till around March when the newrebels should be launched. I'm pretty sure theyll come with video also to compete with Nikon. That way you can keep your current lenses, Flash, etc. Iwouldnt call Nikon crappy... If anything one thing they have over Canon is build quality and ergonomics.

On the D90, no. I heard the 5D MkII will have a contrast based AF, but Canon recommends not using it because it will overheat the sensor.
