yes this is another "help me decide" thread haha
Originally I really wanted a Canon XS, well that didnt happen right away and I am able to wait a little while till I can get up the money. I am torn between these cameras and have been trying to figure out all of there pros and cons
Canon Rebel XS -not expensive, great starter camera?
Canon Rebel XSi - 12MP vs 10MP, more AF points
Canon 40D - 6.5 fps, well built, never heard bad about it....
Canon T1i (new?) not really sure
Nikon D60- not expensive, but no AF on some lenses....
Nikon D90- havent heard any bad about this one either, Expensive tho
Nikon D200 - good price, same AF issues as the D60 tho?
Nikon D5000 (new?) no idea just reading about it
I am wanting to be able to do portraits, outdoors photography, but most of all... sports. I am leaning more towards the 40D now that I read more and more about it. the T1i has video... which I really dont care about at all haha any thoughts? like I said I am just trying to somewhat figure this all out in my head to see what I will need for money.
also in doing sports I would either want the canon 70-200 2.8L (or Nikon equiv.) or the Canon 100-400 4-5.6L just because of its long range. I have see the reviews of both of them and the 100-400 seems to handle 200+ MUCH better, plus for sports you want to get close with the lense...
like I said any thoughts would really help :thumbup:
