dslr camera with gps image
MiZz RuBy
I need a new camera but am lost on which one to get!
I have my eye on Nikon D3100 or Canon 550D- any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Answer
My other suggestion would be to look at the Sony SLT A55. This DSLR has Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology which allows for full-time continuous auto focus whether you're shooting still pictures or 1080/60i HD video. No other DSLR allows this. The technology also allows shooting at 10fps (frames per second) which is the fastest in its price range.The Sony SLT A55 also gives you 2D or 3D Sweep Panorama in the camera as well as HDR in the camera. It also has built-in GPS.

Current prices at B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com
Nikon D3100 w/18-55mm zoom, $649.95 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 7-30-2011.
Canon 550D/T2i w/18-55mm zoom, $749.95 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 7-9-2011.
Sony SLT A55 w/18-55mm zoom, $799.99 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 7-9-2011.
All 3 cameras have free USA shipping.
With its built-in focusing motor and Sony's version of Image Stabilization in the camera body and use of the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount the SLT A55 can use the Legacy Minolta Maxxum AF lenses dating back to 1985 and they will auto focus and become, in effect, IS lenses.
The Nikon D3100 requires the more expensive Nikon AF-S lenses if you want them to auto focus.
Canon and Nikon have their respective versions of IS in some but not all of their lenses plus you pay for it over and over. A Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm f1.4 prime lens on the A55 will be an IS lens. Neither Nikon nor Canon offers an IS 50mm prime lens.
In my opinion the Sony SLT A55 offers technology and features that Nikon and Canon lack. Its only a matter of time before Canon and Nikon will have to respond by upgrading their technology to match that of the Sony A55.

What is a good DSLR to by for a first time buyer who wants to grow and understand photography?

I have a s570 nikon point and shoot. I found it lacking in color definition after a trip to the NWT. Going to Iceland next summer and want to take great pictures of the ice fields and volcanoes. Sales at the local camera store just want to make a sale. The big box stores are lacking in expertise.
Answer
Just get a good deal. It doesn't matter which brand - indeed, if you have to brand shop - check out reviews of the lens range available for any individual brand mount.
If you want to grow and understand photography, then just about any D-SLR should do - as long as it has full manual controls and an interchangeable lens. If you want super fast continuous shooting, GPS, HD video, built in shake reduction, water proofing, etc - then you need to shop more carefully.But for learning about photography, any D-SLR with manual exposure controls. There is a school of thought that a fully manual-only camera such as an old Russian 35mm film Zenith SLR will teach more about exposure and cameras.
If you are touring in wet weather though - check out the new Pentax range of weather resistant (even water proof) D-SLRs.
