Which digital SLR?
So I'm new to the digital SLR world. I've used film until now, but I think it's time to move on. I'm looking for a good entry level DSLR. There are a few cameras I have my eye on, but I'm not familiar enough with digital to know which one is best. The ones I've been looking at are the Canon eos rebel xt, Nikon 50D, Minolta 5D, and Pentax *ist dl. Does anyone have any experience with any of these cameras, or does anyone know of any other cameras that are better for around the same price?
Answer:
You say you've been using film up until now. If you have been using one of the more recent Auto Focus bodies, there is a very good chance most of the acessories you bought over the years would be compatible with a digital camera from the same manufacturer.
For example, a Canon EOS owner with a few lenses, a flash, filters, etc. would be very wise to look at the Canon lineup of DSLR's. This would be the best value.
If you had an older Canon AE-1, the lenses wouldn't be of use to you on a digital body, so you might consider looking at other manufacturers. I'd keep my film camera in any event.
I would make a trip to a reputable camera store. This will allow you to get some advise, but more importantly try out the cameras in your hand. Some are heavier or lighter than others. Some are larger or smaller. Pick one that is comfortable in your hands, not the sales persons favourite.
A lot of sale people will be biased to Nikon. Don't let that sway you. Buy what feels good in your hands. Easy to use controls, etc.
We prefer to use Canon for both film and digital. We think the Canon digital line up has the most depth and they are the only manufacturer to make all their own components. We love our Pentax Optio. Ours is S50 It is great for close ups etc. BW give this a click, it lets you copmpare just about any digital camera out there.
