hello gents,
i've been lurking around this forum for some time and have recently been in the market for a digital SLR camera.
I've come across two cameras which i think I might like:
- Canon Digital Rebel XT -> seems you can't go wrong with this...good quality, great lense choices, good sensor etc etc. My buddy has the 1st digital rebel and its still going strong.
- Olympus E-500 -> harder to find info about as it doesn't seem that popular. Has a 4/3 sensor which i've heard is smaller than the canon's. 8MP so same as the rebel XT. Less overall choice of lenses but i dont plan on buying a bajillion of em.
Just to give you some idea of what i would be using the camera for:
- Typical photo taking
- Product photography
- Automotive photography
- Event photography (track days, functions etc)
- general goofing about
- Making posters/panoramic photos: camera should be able to take good prints to blow up in size.
I'm particularily interested in the differences between the Canon and Olympus's Sensors...does the smaller Olympus sensor really impact on quality that much?
sorry if some of these questions are noob-ish...but the staff at the particular Henry's i visited wasn't particularily helpful (i'm pretty sure the chick at the counter was stoned :mrgreen: ).
Thanks in advance. Also i would be open to other camera recommendations, especially:
- Canon digital rebel (the older 6MP version...not sure how good this would be for enlarging stuff for posters tho)
- Pentax? i know nothing about these.
cheers :thumbup:
