Canon 450D or Nikon D90?
I will be straight, becos any photographer or hobbyist who likes photography will know what I'm saying. The Nikon D90 comes with the standard AF-S DX nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, and costs about $ 1200 and the Canon 450D comes with along with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5- 5.6 IS and EF-S 55 — 250mm f/4-5.6 IS, and costs about $ 950 where I live now. Should I go for the 450D with an additional lens or should I go for the manufacturer of the "movie" D90? Or should go to the new Canon 500D, also a "movie maker", but with only one lens (18-55 IS)? Please help me before spending my money on something else and end any of them! Youre responses will be appreciated! Thanks!
The D90 is a camera better than any of the models from Canon. It is better built and a higher class. The 450D is more like the D60. For a beginner I would recommend going with a cheaper camera and extra lens. Soon you will realize that you want another goal, regardless of the camera you choose. The image quality has more to do with the objective of using the camera is used anyway. If you really want the video function of my understanding is not great look at the Canon 500D and Nikon D5000. These cameras are in the same class.
