CAMERA OPINIONS

[meowzer]

OK...I have narrowed my camera selections down to 3 after doing a lot of reading on the site
They are fairly comparable in price.....and I really have to have a SIMPLE camera
they are
Canon T1I
Nikon D40
Nikon D5000
Please help me choose

 

[monsinour]

both are excellent companies that make really good cameras. I am soo glad that you did not choose to include a Kodak in your list.
How far is the nearest electronics store? Best way to determine this is to try all 3 out.

If I had to chose...I like the D5000 over the D40 but I think I like the Canon the best. Great features and more MPix's.

Hey Meow, I don't know if you've looked at them yet but I have my eyes set on either the Sony A-33 or the A-55.

I also need a new camera to take pictures of the tank....hmm...
New camera -vs- new deck
New camera -vs- finish bathroom remodeling
New camera -vs- re-seeding lawn
New camera -vs- anniversary band
New camera -vs- major tune up of both vehicles
yeah, new camera, no doubt

I have never even heard of them....LOL....
The only looking I have done is online since I have no great electronics store.......and also from what this board says about cameras

Lois I think all of the cameras that were mentioned are great. Personally I love my cannon. I think that no matter which one you chose if your budget permits, get a good macro lens
