- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Now, I'm not new to photography. Been doing it about four years. So, not experienced, as such, but not a complete stranger to photography.
I've had 5 cameras, but none DSLRs. So it's time, I'm thinking.
And, of course, entry-level DSLRs.
Here are my few options:
- Canon EOS 450D/Rebel XSi
- Nikon D60
- Olympus E-520
- Pentax K200D
- Samsung GX20
From what I've heard:
- D60 is in-the-middle on price, so I wouldn't mind getting it... but photo quality, noise... when blown up? Is the quality good, or mediocre? And inaccurate colours?
- K200D apparently has quite some noise at 800 and upwards (ISO)... and is the colour wrong, like the D60?
- EOS 450D/RebelXSi... seems to be perfect. Only thing is, it's about four hundred bucks more.
- The GX20 seems to have problems with noise at 800 ISO +, and basic image quality.
- The E-520 has apparently a lot of noise at high ISO levels and quality in its images are lacking.
I'm not looking for their range of lenses, because all of them have the lens that I can live with.
In Australia, the K200D is the cheapest, or on par with the D60. The E-520 is also around that area. So, they're about $600-800. The GX20 is slightly more, coming in at $1000 or thereabouts. The EOS 450D is the most expensive, at $1300 +.
I'm looking for good image quality and low noise at high ISO levels.
If what I've heard is wrong, then by all means please mention it.
Your help is appreciated. :thumbup:
