Canon Rebel XS

Mattd76 · January 22nd, 2009, 11:04 PM

Yea the live view feature is not going to sway my decision and 2 more AF points on the XTi is not a big selling point for me either.

gooberhead320 · January 22nd, 2009, 11:05 PM

then really its how much you want to pay

Emay · January 22nd, 2009, 11:09 PM

AF points are huge for composition.. Especially for some of the more artistic photography shots..

gooberhead320 · January 22nd, 2009, 11:16 PM

the processor in the xti is faster also i beleve. you won't be disappointed with either camera

Mattd76 · January 22nd, 2009, 11:23 PM

Well I have a few weeks to really decide but I want to buy the camera before my next trip to NY to shoot some of the good scenery up there. and Emay do you know of any other differences in the cameras. I know the AF points are probably more useful to a more experienced photographer but for me I don't think it will make musch of a difference with this being my fisr DSLR and real attempt at any photography

Canon EOS Rebel XTi 400D Digital SLR Camera 3 Lens 12gb - eBay (item 290289151783 end time Feb-12-09 14:22:01 PST)

What do you guys think of this kit? Seems like a pretty good price for what your getting.

gooberhead320 · January 22nd, 2009, 11:51 PM

i ALMOST bought that one, but decided to get the 28-90 lens instead and for only 10 bucks more. i would get that, seriously. and get it soon because this whole photography stuff is a handful at first. so many different things you can do. you have to know how to work it. you don't want to go to NY with no experience with it (assuming you are getting it days before you go by waiting a couple weeks)

Emay · January 23rd, 2009, 12:12 AM

You can get by, just that as you progress you will quickly understand that more of the af points is very helpful. Live view is useless.. Don't even bother worryin about any of that..

xsi shoots .5 second more frames per second. Not a big diff there really.

2mp difference as well, not big for a beginner. A pixel peeper would see the difference in the photographs..

that's about all I see..

Genevieve! · January 23rd, 2009, 12:21 AM

the XTI is also 10 MP (same as the XS) the XSI that has 12.

the XS has a larger sensor

No Im mistaken they have the same size sensor.

Emay · January 23rd, 2009, 12:31 AM

I was talkin about xsi missed you were looking at xti..

Mattd76 · January 23rd, 2009, 01:10 PM

Yea I would love to get an XSi just a little out of my price range

here is what you need.

NEW Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body +18-55 +4GB Kit - eBay (item 140295962997 end time Feb-18-09 09:07:32 PST)

its slightly pentaxian with its ability to use any lens nikon made from 1977 to now.

Mattd76 · January 23rd, 2009, 03:26 PM

While the D80 is a very nice camera It is out of my price range by about $200

Onemanzu · January 23rd, 2009, 03:27 PM

so wait another month and then buy it.

TheUNZippee! · January 23rd, 2009, 03:27 PM

Mattd76 · January 23rd, 2009, 03:34 PM

For me to save $200 dollars for the camera would take more than a month for me. I'm in highschool working part time and have to pay for my car insurance, gas, my ATV payments and just need money on the side. My money for the camera came from the small tips I make at work that I have been saving up forever.

Onemanzu · January 23rd, 2009, 03:41 PM

well... hmm.

and you have been to your local camera store and have played with all the ones there??

I'm not going to lie, when i got my camera i played with it for a month straight then i set it down for a while and didn't look at it aside from when i was going to bed each night. I just don't want you to go out and get one, and do the same thing i did then realize a few months later that you should have waited for a bigger better one.

Mattd76 · January 23rd, 2009, 07:10 PM

Thank you mother onemanzu lol You do however make a good point. What, in your mind, makes the D80 a much better choice as first camera for me over the other choices? How do they compare because aren't they both 10 mp. and similar in other capabilities or is there somthing "special" about the D80

Onemanzu · January 24th, 2009, 04:09 AM

the D80 is a mid level camera that has more options to expand on in the future AND its dirt cheap now a days, depending where you look.

i will stop throwing my opinions out now, cause i pick cameras based on how they feel then from their pick the one with the best statistics.

Mattd76 · January 24th, 2009, 11:03 AM

onenanzu your opinions are always welcome. and one more question for ya, what did you mean by the D80 being slight pentaxian with its abilities?
