Re: Nikon D60 or Canon EOS 450D?

I recently bought the D60 kit. As a first time dSLR owner price was my main deciding factor. That and I liked how the D60 felt when holding it than the Canon Xsi felt.

As far as lenses, I found myself using manual focus more than the auto focus just because I quickly learned that I wanted to control what was happening instead of letting the camera do it. With that I purchased 3 additional lenses that for really cheap that works really well but dont have AF.

As a noob to cameras one thing I am learning, you have to try the cameras out then pick the one you like.
Good for you!

Manual focus...wow, what a concept.
Next thing ya know people will be using primes and zooming with their feet.

oh, wait..... is that what Ansel Adams used?

Right, but again manually focusing an auto-focus lens blows. Another thing that sucks is a lot of modern manual focus lenses are really auto-focus lenses with the AF parts ripped out.

I use manual focus lenses 75-80 % of the time but they are old M42 mount pieces. Heavy Metal and smooth dampened focus.

Re: Nikon D60 or Canon EOS 450D?

as a novice, I am not really able to tell the difference between the focusing action between lenses.

Maybe later as a get more experience I can start being concerned with all the neat little things of white balance, smooth focus action. I am learning, but since its still a new hobby, price is for me a driving factor.

Re: Nikon D60 or Canon EOS 450D?

Price was/is the driving factor for me too, make no mistake. I'm on a low-budget plan. I run a Pentax K100D and a mish mash of ancient MF screw-mount glass along with the kit 18-55mm lens.

I bought the Pentax purely based on price. The cheapest DSLR was going to win in my case. However that doesn't mean I think the IQ or ISO performance of my Pentax is as good as a CMOS sensor in a Canon. In fact, I'm certain it's not.

Regards,
Mike
