Buying a camera in the $ 400 – price range $ 600?
I'll buy a camera for someone in the $ 400 – prices range from $ 600 (and not spent closer to $ 400, but I want to get an impressive camera.) My wife is a novice photographer and want to take classes, improve hobby, and get a camera that will last many years. So far, I've been looking at these two cameras, although they are very different: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP camera Digital SLR EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS (silver) found at: http://www.amazon.com / Canon-Digital-XSI-18-55mm-3- 5-5-6/dp/B0012Y6HC8/ref = sr_1_5? ie = UTF8 & s = electronics and qid = 1225731356 sr = 1-5 and the Nikon D40 http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Digital-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G-Zoom -Nikkor/dp/B000KJQ1DG/ref = sr_1_1? ie = UTF8 & s = electronics & qid = 1225731654 & sr = 1 -1 Is there anything I should know when evaluating these two cameras? Is there a third option, the better? CANON camera is more expensive simply "too" for an amateur photographer, or fair? Thanks.
Both Canon and Nikon cameras can be "too much" for anyone who is not familiar with the use of 35 mm SLR Most bang for the buck is the D40 and opens the door to the biggest camera system at this time. The money saved can be used to buy a lens of a second later. The fact that a camera costs more, does not mean that it is overwhelming. Really http://kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm go to a camera store and hold both cameras in their hands and see which you like better and easier for you to manage and use. Once you know what the best, you can order any desired line
