What digital SLR camera, Nikon or Canon?
I've narrowed my selection to two cameras. The Nikon D80 and Canon EOS XSi rebalance .. Both are similar in price. I'm not a professional photographer, just want to take good looking pictures. I like the fact that Canon has Live View 3 "LCD and Nikon a 2.5 "Live View no. Canon vs Nikon 12.2 MP 10.2 MP (although this is not important to me). The Nikon was highest rated in Consumer Reports (I could not find A review of the Canon). Can anyone give me some advice one way or another. Reliability?
I was with the xsi, because as others have said it seems that you get more for your money. The XSI 0.5 fps faster than the d80 if that makes a difference. Canon also has much more to offer in terms of accessories, and there are plenty of really good books there for xsi specific that could help you, it also appears that the xsi is easier to find others who have it as is DSLR specials at this time. I have a xsi, it is easy to use and light on a DSLR, maybe that's a problem for some, but I think when I'm Hiking is nice not having the extra weight that most other digital SLR. Can be used in fully automatic mode, but has all the options you would like once you learn more about photography. The xsi is also cheaper, so the money saved can go into a bag or an extra battery. Probably would be happy with anyone, just to see how they feel in their hands, read some reviews and choose what you personally feel most comfortable with.
