Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2006Wich Camera to buy
Hello, I'm new at this group and I know that this is a question a little dificult to ask for but i want to buy a digital slr and I am asking for your opinion about a few models. I don't have any lens of older cameras. The main doubt is Nikon or Canon? I'm interested on buying a Nikon D70s Can you tell me if there are better options for the the same price (aprox.)? Thank you very much for help. Hugo > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Thank you very much for help. > Hugo Nikon D70s is a good camera. Plenty people in this group will vouch for it. There is a kit lens option which is of high quality. I believe it is the 18-70 DX. others will have more accurate information. Beware of the cheap sigma 28-80 option. Best of luck. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Can you tell me if there are better options for the the same price > (aprox.)? The D80 will be out shortly. Wait and see how it's priced. At a minimum, the D70s price should fall when the D80 is available. sa.hugo wrote: >> I don't have any lens of older cameras. The main doubt is Nikon or >> Canon? In most cases it doesn't matter which system you choose, both make excellent equipment. The biggest difference is "feel" - the Canon and Nikon cameras handle and feel very different and it's important that you handle both to see if you have a preference. >> I'm interested on buying a Nikon D70s The D70s is an excellent camera with plenty of features and the 18-70 kit lense is very good. >> Can you tell me if there are better options for the the same price >> (aprox.)? That depends on what kind of photography you expect to do with the camera, and your budget? The Nikon D50 is also a great camera, just with less features than the D70s. The Canon Rebel XT/350D is also a great camera, but some people find it too small to handle easily. The Canon 20D is being replaced with the newer 30D, so that might be an option if it's within your budget. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Can you tell me if there are better options for the the same price > (aprox.)? Franky they are all good and each has its shorts and longs. The 70/70s are excellent, esp. when coupled to decent lenses of which Nikon have a good number (and some crap too, just avoid high zoom ratios for low dollars). For a few more dollars, however, you can go to 8 and 10 Mpixels in Canon, Sony, Olympus and Nikon too (a lot more $). 6 Mpix (70s) will produce very good 8x12 (8x10) prints and in the right situations (light, exposure, lens, tripod) 10x15 (inches). So if that is adequate for you then a 6 Mpix camera is enough and will be less demanding on memory (CF, disk, backups...). Cheers, Alan.

One and half years old with the 18-70. I like it. This was an addition of my Nikon Arsenl which includes Nikon Ftn, N90s plus 7 other Nikon lenses. I would probably cough up the cash for the D200 today if I were making the decision again. MAYBE!. Digital advances so fast, maybe the D70s or the coming D80 is a better chocie until the advances become so incremental that is worth spending significant bucks on a high end digitial. A pro can make a case for needing the best tool they can afford. (i.e. you camera is not obsolete in two years or less).
