There is yet no Nikon D90. If your looking for a DSLR for beginners, that would be the current Canon 450D, Nikon D60, and Olympus E510.

 

Canon 450D : 36-37k (kit)

Nikon D60 : 29-30k (kit)

Olympus E510 : 47k (dual lens kit, 14-42 and 40-150) (not sure about single lens package)

ooppss sori typo i mean Nikon D80... thanks for the advance boss....

just my thoughts...

 

i got myself few months ago a Nikon D60 kit. I was really planning on getting the D80. For a newbie, the D60 is a nice decent DSLR. Get to know the cam better. oh i got the kit for 29.5k with the kitlens, 2gb, bag and UV filter, (CDSC). The D80 back then was at 48k. And there are rumors of a D80x or a D90 coming late this year. Was pretty happy with the cam. For me, d60 is nice.. just give it some toys to play with. Some nice lens (a wide, a telephoto and a micro), some nice filters (cpl, nd's, ir's.. or even close ups).. plus a decent tripod and you're good to go. The auto focus issue on old lenses for D60... its not a biggie for me. Trust me.. its not that hard to manual focus. They say, nice pictures should be credited to the photographer and not to the camera.

... just my thoughts..

Comparison Between Canon 450D and Nikon D60

 

 

450D D60

9 area AF vs 3 area AF

3.5 FPS vs 3 FPS

14 bit vs 12 bit

Made Japan vs Made Thailand

Excellent Customer Service vs Customer Service Sucks

Plastic Composite (Stainless Steel chassis) vs Magnesium Composite alloy

Digic III vs Expeed

0.1 startup vs 0.4 startup

P36K - Kit lens vs P29K Kit Lens

 

Mostly specifications palang ito, but you can also do your homework.

 

Let's look at some other features that are actually VERY (i say even critically) useful when taking pictures

 

45D vs D60

 

EV Compensation:

-2 to +2 EV in 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV steps VS -5 to +5 EV in 1/2 or 1/3 EV steps

 

Metering:

35 area eval, center weighted, partial, spot VS 420 segment 3D color Matrix metering II, Center weighted, Spot

 

And to add more info to what's already posted:

 

Continuous Drive:

3.5 fps, 53 JPEG or 6 RAW frames VS Yes, 3.0 fps, unlimited JPEG

 

Focusing:

9-point CMOS sensor VS Multi-CAM530 three area AF sensor

 

And some subjective stuff--

Go to a store and just HOLD the cameras...carry them around the store...feel the grip...get a feel of the ergonomics...close your eyes and then decide which camera *feels* better...when you open your eyes, I'll bet it's the D60 that you're holding

 

And yeah...

Canon vs Nikon

Camera company VS Optical Engineering industrialist

 

:goatee:

Here's some advantages on the Plastic Composite vs the Magnesium Composite of Canon and Nikon.

 

Canon - lighter, but easily marked when bumped hard.

 

Nikon - heavier, but much durable than plastic composite

 

 

But, has there been a test of Shock???

 

Example both cameras been dropped 10 to 20 feet in a concrete floor???

Hmmm, shouldn't the comparison be between the Nikon d300 or (maybe) the d80 vs Canon 40d? The 2 dSLRs you want to compare are worlds apart in features. :upside:

Like what Penguin said.

 

D40 - entry level

 

40D - Mid-level

 

Both from different brand.

 

I suggest D80 vs 40D and D40 vs 400D.

 

Go to www.dpreview.com for detailed reviews and specs, there's just too many.

Better hurry sweetie, some Nikon dealers were told to clear inventory on D80 and D40 as soon as possible. This is to make way for some upcoming products like D700, SB900, D90, and some other lenses. Some will be rolled out next week, I think.

 

Anyway, like the others said, a more appropriate comparison would be Canon 40D vs Nikon D300 and Canon 400D vs Nikon D40. In the end, it's what you really want in a camera that determines your choice.

You can have your lens off camera or on it. Just store it in a dry place or perhaps in your camera bag.

 

Just make sure it does NOT take a dive into salt water!! :cry:

Which has a better lens/optics in terms of clarity, contrast?
