Re: Nikon D60 or Canon EOS 450D? said by Michail:said by ddevilduck: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. Goodness, that has got to take some serious skill and good eyesight to manually focus a D60. i wouldnt say i have a good eye or skill.
I thought it was kinda simple, you turn the ring thing toward the front of the lens till what you see in the viewer looks the way you think it should. I dont have a photographer's eye so what I think may be good is not good to someone else. |

kudos:1 | No, I just find it rather hard myself to manual focus with the smaller viewfinders. They just aren't built for that anymore.
Though I'll sometimes MF with a tripod and stationary subject. |

| i agree with you that the viewfinder is small. i have to smooosh my eye right in there to see what I want well. |
