Slr Digital Cameras Info
Digital SLR Camera, Canon Rebel XSI or Nikon D60?
I’m a beginner looking to switch to SLR cameras. I have found good deals on both the XSI and the D60. Which one is better? Please give me as much comparison info as you can as this is a big thing for me. I would be buying the 55-200mm zoom lens for either camera.
I’ve had Nikons since the 70′s and still love them. would recommend the D60 by Nikon. The D60 is a great entry level DSLR. It will let you have control over your shots to go with your skill level. Everything from a flexible program mode where the camera does many of the functions to a full manual mode where you set everything as you want it. It give good quality pictures. The D60 give you a number of things you want. It has newer firmware and image processors, designed for the 10 mp sensor. It has an “Active Dust Reduction System with Airflow Control “. Nikon not putting a system on the D40 to deal with dust is one of the biggest drawbacks I see to the D40 ( though I think its still a great camera for the money) If you change lenses dust will get in and the camera needs a system to deal with it. With the D60 you get a VR lens. That will help with low light situations ( they may offer that now with the D40 but originally it was not) . The D60 has Adaptive Dynamic Range. Nikon calls it “Active D-Lighting,” it lets you save some highlights that my otherwise be lost. It has a newer better metering system than the D40.
Some people will try to make a big deal about the fact that some older design lenses will not autofocus on this camera. The AF-S and AF-I will autofocus. Other lenses will work great also you just have to manually focus them. There are plenty of lenses in the nikon line that will autofocus so you will alway be able to find a lens in the range you want that autofocuses. But if you don’t mind manual focusing you can get some great lenses alot cheaper. The autofocus in the lens is faster and smoother than autofocus in the camera body. With the silent wave motors in Nikor lenses giving some of the fastest focus times
