Dirt Cheap Entry Level DSLR – Canon XSi or Nikon D3000?
Canon and Nikon have gone head to head in competition for the least expensive (OK – cheap) DSLR from the launch of the first Canon Digital Rebel 300D and Nikon D40. These two 6-megapixel cameras entered the digital SLR market at just under $ 1,000.
The trend towards the release of cheaper digital SLR has continued with the successive versions of both Canon and Nikon. Now we have two digital SLR credentials impressive for under $ 600.
Which one to choose? The Canon Rebel XSi or Nikon D3000?
I have bad news for you. No definite winner in this comparison. But let's consider the differences. Next, you will have to decide what technology will tilt the balance for you.
- Quality Image – It's a tie. Both cameras produce high quality prints, considered the best entry level DSLR category.
- Megapixels – Canon is the clear winner here with 12.2 megapixel vs 10.2 megapixels.
- Lens Kit – Identity.
- ISO – Slight edge to Nikon here to ISO 100-1600 vs 100-3200.
- Price – Nikon has shaved its MSRP of $ 600 with kit lens. And although whether you can get the camera low price of $ 600, Nikon is consistently available for about $ 50 less than the rebel.
- Continuous Shooting – Canon is the clear winner here with 3.5 frames per second (up to 53 continuous shots). Nikon rate is 2.99 frames per second (up to 16 shots).
- LCD Monitor – Identity. Both have 3 "view panel with 230.000 dots resolution
- Live View LCD – winner clear here. Canon Rebel XSi Live View while HA D3000 Nikon does not.
- Video – Neither has video capability.
- Age – The Canon Rebel XSi entered the market in April '08, and D3000 Nikon recently entered in August '09.
These are comparisons that can interest someone up to their first digital SLR. The most important may be the availability of Live View in the Canon XSi. This feature is becoming available on all new releases. Why Nikon Live View lets the D3000?
