Looking at getting a DSLR for xmas, just an entry, nothing fancy
been playing with them at BB, im liking the Canon Rebel XS the most so far, played with the Sony Alpha 300, has some cool features, tilt screen and such, just didnt like the pictures i took, and the flash was annoying, had a delay when you pressed the shutter button with like 4-5flashes, might be able to change it, i dont know
i was looking at the D40, it just seems to lack features, same model since 06 i believe it was, downside its only 6megs, which dosent make a big difference in quality, but would be nice to have a more recent model
the D60 is a tad bit more than the other 2, didnt get to take any pics with it, no sd card and it wouldnt take one, so i might have to grab one form home and use it, so not really any comment on that one
the canon and Sony feature the live view, where you can use the lcd as viewfinder instead of eyepiece, neither nikon has that, it would be a feature i would rather have than not, i got some nice pictures on the canon, easy to use, flash is auto pop up which is nice for quick shooting
but any advice?
im leaning toward the Rebel XS for now
