dslr camera 3d model free image
Kajsa Hull
I already own a Nikon D40 and my question is if it's worth the extra money to upgrade to a Canon EOS 450D?
Answer
Are you aware that the Canon 450D has been discontinued as has the Nikon D40?
If you have more than one lens for your D40 then you should upgrade to a newer model Nikon like the D90 or D7000. Switching camera brands can get real expensive real fast if you have to buy all new lenses because all brands use a proprietary lens mount and they aren't compatible.
On the other hand, if all you have is the 18-55mm zoom that came with your D40 then changing brands isn't so expensive.
If you're looking for a DSLR with video capability I suggest considering the Sony SLT A33 which uses Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology (TMT). TMT allows full-time continuous auto focusing whether you're shooting still pictures or video. It also allows shooting at 7fps (frames per second) which can be useful if you're shooting a skateboarder doing tricks. The SLT A33 also has 2D & 3D Sweep panorama. Here are a couple of reviews:

The SLT A33 has a "big brother" - the SLT A55 - which is more expensive and has a few more features and is being heavily promoted by Sony. This review explains the differences:
http://www.digitalphotographywriter.com/2010/08/sony-a33-vs-a55-whats-difference.html
At B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com - the Sony SLT A33 is $699.99 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Offer ends 4-2-2011. Free USA shipping. The Sony A55 is $849.99 with free USA shipping.
If the SLT A33 is more than you want to spend then consider the DSLR chosen by the Technical Image Press Association as their 2010 "Best DSLR Entry Level" - the Pentax K-x. It features a CMOS sensor, HD Video, Live View, double/multiple exposure capability. Here is a review:
http://www.shutterbug.net/equipmentreviews/amateur_digital_slrs/0510pentax/index.html
At B&H its $499.00 with free USA shipping.
Both the A33 and K-x have features not found in the Nikon D3000, D3100, D5000 or Canon DSLR cameras - Image Stabilization in the camera body so any lens used becomes an IS lens and a focusing motor in the camera body (you have to upgrade to a Nikon D90 and above to find this feature). Canon started with the focusing motor in the lens.
All Sony DSLRs use the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount introduced in 1985. Any Maxxum AF lens can be used on the A33 and will auto focus as it should. With the entry-level Nikons - D3000, D3100, D5000 - you must use the more expensive Nikon AF-S lenses if you want auto focus.
All Pentax DSLRs use the legacy Pentax "K" lens mount so any "K" mount lens made since 1975 can be used - with some limitations - on the K-x. If the lens is a Pentax AF lens it will auto focus on the K-x as it should.
Although Nikon has excellent backwards lens compatibilty and the AF lenses introduced around 1988 or so can be used on the D40/D60/D3000/D3100/D5000 cameras they won't auto focus since those models don't have a focusing motor in the camera body. The older AF lenses are, not surprisingly, less expensive than the newer AF-S lenses.
Enjoy whatever new camera you decide to buy or just keep the D40 and upgrade your lens selection.

HELP! Canon 1000D or 450D? What should I get?
Sunset
I'm going to get a new dSLR this week and I just need your advice on what I should get
Canon 1000D or 450D?
Performance and Price-wise. I find it weird that the 1000D is newer but 450D has more advantages. :S
And I kind of think of 1000D as a 425D lol. somewhere between 400D and 450D.
So I just need to know what you think.
And what about Nikon D60!?!? :S
I'm going to need pros and cons too. Possibly even comparisons.

Answer
Get the Canon EOS Rebel XSi instead of the Rebel XS. The XS is the "little brother" of the XSi which means they are both almost the same camera, but the XSi has more to offer than the XS. At the time of this writing, Amazon.com is currently selling the XSi for the same price as the XS! You would be foolish to buy the XS now instead of the XSi, especially on the fact that the XSi was released not long ago in April 2008. In other words, you have two very similar models that were both released in 2008, just four months apart, but yet the XSi has more capabilities and features than the XS and costs the same. The XS is just a trimmed-down version of the XSi.
Here are the notable similarities of the Rebel XSi and the Rebel XS:
* Both have practically the same large single-plate CMOS sensor and the Digic III Image Processor, except the XSi is 12.2MP while the XS is only 10.1MP (megapixels).
* Both have the Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System.
* Both can be purchased with the same EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Kit Lens. If you buy the XSi camera body only, it's even cheaper than the XS with kit lens.
* Both have Live View Function with their LCD displays.
* Both are compatible with Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
* Both utilize SD and SDHC memory cards.
* Both use the same battery pack (LP-E5) and the same optional battery grip (BG-E5).
* The XS is compatible with most of the Canon EOS camera system accessories that can be used with the XSi.
Now here are the differences between the "newer" Rebel XS and the recently released Rebel XSi:
* The XSi has more megapixels at 12.2MP while the XS is 10.1MP.
* For JPEG, the XSi can continuously shoot at 3.5 fps while the XS can do 3.0 fps. But for RAW, the XSi is a lot better at 3.5 fps while the XS can only do 1.5 fps.
* The LCD monitor of the XSi measures 3.0 inches while the XS has a smaller screen at 2.5 inches.
* The XSi has a 9-point AF system while the XS has only a 7-point.
* The XSi has Spot metering while the XS does not. Both have Evaluative, Partial, and Center-weighted metering, however.
* XSi's RAW is 14-bit while the XS RAW is 12-bit.
* XSi has Highlight Tone Priority while the XS does not.
* The viewfinder of the XSi provides 0.87x magnification while the XS provides 0.81x.
* The XSi can utilize the RC-1 or the RC-5 wireless remote shutter release, but the XS is not compatible with either so you won't be able to use a wireless remote release.
* You cannot buy the XS without the kit lens.
The Canon EOS Rebel XSi clearly is the better choice and if you are buying your very first digital SLR camera, the XSi is a top model for entry-level compared to others currently out on the market.

For Nikon D60 it's a great camera
Pluses:
- light & compact
- ultrasonic sensor cleaner, matched with a airflow control system (keeps the sensor dust free!)
- 420-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering II (compares against over 30,000 pics stored in database to achieve best exposure, available only with Nikon D or G type lenses)
- pretty good performance from built-in flash
- ISO 3200 available
- ISO 100 available (this is becoming a rarity)
- Active D-Lighting (automatically compensates over or under exposed areas in a high contrast scene)
- LCD screen shuts off when eye is close to viewfinder (saves power)
- very quick startup, you can take a picture as soon as you turn the camera on, even if flash is needed
- SDHC compatible (I use an 8GB card!)
Minuses:
- not so great focusing in poor lighting, only 3 focus points, sometimes wrong objects are focused on
- Auto ISO doesn't always choose the right ISO
- the all "Auto" mode produces slightly oversaturated pictures
- slightly "noisy" from ISO 800 and above, but noise reduction is available
- no built-in auto focus motor, Nikon AF-S/AF-I lenses or third party lenses with built-in focus motor are necessary, unless you like to manually focus
If you're looking the DSLR that can do many wonderful things but don't have a whole lot to spend, this is the camera to get. It may not have as many pixels (who really needs more than 10mp?), nor does it have the large 3" LCD screen like the D300 or D3, but for a fraction of the price, you can take just as good pictures. Point is, rather than spending $1000 more on a D300, you're much better off getting the D60 and spending the $1000 on a nice fast lens.
