Re: Nikon D60 or Canon EOS 450D?
said by TigerNutz  :Manual focus...wow, what a concept.  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.

| 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. |

| 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.
