Digital SLRs ?

Canon EOS 300D(check out the comparison table on the 1st page between the Canon Rebel and NikonD100) + Canon EOS 300D

Nikon D100 + Nikon D100

As the reviewer of Digital Photography Review said -

"Reading some of the discussion on our EOS 300D forum there seem to be a lot of people torn between the 300D and the 10D. My advice is to look down the list of advantages the 10D has and then ask yourself if (a) you can live without them and (b) if they are worth the extra $600."

- the choice is based on your budget and needs (what isn't).

 

they are all great and will take nice shots. They also have most of the features pro's expect BUT I really don't feel that they are quite there yet. Wait till they get to the 10-12 mega pixel range and then you're talking.

I've used a Hasselblad with a Leaf digital back and the shots are amazing. I wish I had never done that because now I have that in my head and no SLR is even in the same league as far as picture clarity.

Hey but if ya got the money to spend, go for it. I think the major difference between the 300D and 10D is the body. One is metal and the other is plastic.

If you want a sweet SLR, check out Hasselblad's new 'H1". Ok..ok...so it's not a SLR(digital) but it sure is nice.

i haven't got to look at a 300-D yet, but I have had a D-30 and a D-10. They are both excellent cameras. I have 3 lenses for the 2 of them (close up, regular, and wide angle). They are probably the best digital cameras I have ever used (no time delay like consumer digital cameras).
If you have any questions about the 10D (30 D is just an older version of the 10D), PM or email me.

my pops has a d100. he got it b/c he A) wanted a DSLR, and B) he already had Nikon Lenses.

The pictures it takes are beautiful, and MUCH better than his previous SLR+Nikon Film Scanner. Huge difference. If you want a digital, go for the Nikon D100.

I will leave my server public tonight, if you look at the Glacier Pictures by Scott , they are form a Nikon 8008, then scanned with a $600 Nikon Film Scanner, (can't remember the make...), The Canada Pictures by Scott are the D100, both are res'ed down.

They are pretty shrunk, but if you look close, you can see the benefit of 100% digital.

 

Do you know how much better the quality is compared to one of Nikon's non SLR cameras, like the Coolpix 5700?

 

my bro has a nikon compact digital, and while i have not put it and the d100 side by side, i have put the compact nikon and my Canon PowerShot S45 side by side, and my S45 shots were nicer, and then I put the D100 and the S45 side by side, and the D100 abolutely blew the S45 away.

Something with quality glass and a large aperature will always look better than a prosumer digital with a mini lense.

 

I just bought a D100 on Monday, and am awaiting shipment for tomorrow.

I've been using a Dimage 7i, which is for sale here. My reasons for upgrading are the same as stated above, more flexibility, better quality, lenses, etc.

I'll be damned sure to post samples & of my soon to be experiences with the D100. I've seen a ton of what it can do already, and it blows my mind!

 

go Nikon! I am a big fan of their cameras because of their simple, elegant interfaces (sound familiar?).

The D-100 is a fantastic camera, and there are likely one or two new Nikon DSLRs in the pipeline (other than the D2*). I would guess that they will have a D-80 or something like that to compete with the new very cheap Canon 300D. Although the D-100 has come down $200 recently, which definitely helps.

Have fun, and post some pics!
