Re: Nikon D60 or Canon EOS 450D?
said by turbonium  :... One plus for the D40 is that the flash sync is at 1/500 compared to the 1/250 for most other Nikon like the D40x/60/80. Actually, this isn't all that helpful since the D40's lowest ISO is 200 whereas it's 100 for the D40x/60/80.
IOW, Nikon giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other.

said by ddevilduck :i agree with you that the viewfinder is small. i have to smooosh my eye right in there to see what I want well. While it wasn't really my idea in the first place, I went ahead and made a chart of (calculated) actual viewfinder sizes here: »Comparing viewfinders

The fact is that most here have not had extensive hands-on experience with very many cameras. I'm an expert with my Pentax DS... but Canon 450D? Olympus E420? Not nearly an expert.
This means there's a whole lotta baseless conjecture and hyperbole.
Then there's the whole issue of relevance that you bring up... even if all the conjecture and hyperbole is not far off the mark, it doesn't necessarily have any practical meaning to the individual asking the questions.

Bingo.
Best thing to do is get them in your hands and try them. If your camera shop isn't willing to put one in your hands and let you shoot, they aren't worth your time.
Every shop I've been to has been more than willing to hand me a unit with a card and batteries and let me shoot around the store (Even outside) to my heart's content. Only one was anal enough to say they wouldn't because "I looked too young to hand a serious piece of equipment" (This was Southgate mall in Edmonton for anyone who wants to blacklist a horrible shop, and that does include both of them in the mall, I was 22 at the time) |
