Okay, so you’re searching for that perfect digital SLR camera. You like the format that it can deliver and it stands up to your firm expectations. Well, let’s take a look at 3 digital SLR cameras that are in the highest demand and garner the best user feedback.
#1 Canon Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera
By far and away the most wanted SLR is the Canon Rebel XSi. It features an APS-C sized 22.2 x 14.8mm sensor (12.2 megapixel). That utilizes Canon’s DIGIC III image processor that is renowned for superb image fidelity. It also available as a kit with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens with image stabilization. Fast operation allows for 3.5 frames per second, in bursts of 53 JPEGs or 6 RAW files. The huge 3 inch LCD viewing screen makes settings changes pretty easy. The wide viewing angle and extra brightness of the screen are nice during bright daylight shooting. The Canon Rebel XSi also sports a nice auto cleaning function. And, of course, it is compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S Canon lenses. The camera will cost you around $600 with the lens kit that has image stabilization. People rave about this camera, especially at the cost.
#2 Canon Rebel T1i EOS
The Canon Rebel T1i boasts a 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor with the DIGIC IV processor. The nice 3 inch LCD screen is anti reflective and scratch resistant. And, again, you get the advantage of a catalogue of 60 compatible lenses. The Canon Rebel T1i EOS also sports fullHD video at 20 fps and output via an HDMI port. Again, people love the combination of getting the camera with the image stabilized lens. But, it falls behind the XSi, not because of quality but because of pricing. People tend to shy away from the $800 this will set them back.
#3 Nikon D90 DX
The Nikon D90 DX provides pretty amazing 12.3 megapixel pics at a 4.5 frames per second burst rate. The camera also boasts 720p HD video rendering with 24 fps speed. And, like the Canon packages, the D90 comes with 5.8x AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED lens with image stabilization. A 3 inch LCD provides you with all the settings right at your fingertips. You get the same image sensor as the impressive D300 for superior ISO functionality. The video function is less than stellar and the lens kit is not their best. And the $1100 price tag will make people take a serious look at those Canon models. However, this is a great camera for casual and enthusiast photographers.
