Advantages: Great for out doors Disadvantages: none yet
This camera, along with looking good, is pretty cheap for its quality. It's great for taking along hiking or camping; this is primarily an outdoor camera. It takes okay indoors, but much better outdoors. The flash settings aren't the best, but when the flash is turned off is when you get the best quality from this camera. As a photographer, I use this camera mostly for the outdoors, but on occasion I have used it for family holidays and other indoor ...

Advantages: Ease of use, lots of features, and great look Disadvantages: So many features make me feel lost sometimes. Seems to be very fragile.
...needed a new camera, and Sony is a name I trust in all my electronics. I looked on Crutchfield.com and found the Sony A300K. It first grabbed my attention because of its nice, sleek look. Then I found out it had 10.2 Megapixels. That seemed like a quality picture. Now, I am no too much of a camera expert, but I know my last camera had 5 MP, so this sounded like quite the upgrade. I read some good things about it and decided to buy it. It arrived ... ...with the deer in the headlights look....so many buttons....so many features....so little camera knowledge!! I read the manual to get myself started. It actually helped out a lot! In no time, I was taking some test pictures of my kids. I was amazed at the focus and the picture quality. It seemed I picked a good camera! I tried out the Manual Focusing, and I wasn't very good at it, so I stuck with auto focus. If you are a camera expert, you can probably ...

Advantages: Unique Mechanism, Auto Focus Improvements Disadvantages: Still Expensive
Sony with the high brand level launch alpha DSLR-A350 with a unique mechanism that no one has yet tried, drawing an image from inside the optical viewfinder with a special tilting mirror. Like the A200 Sony make improvements to alpha-A350 AF have made focus acquisition 1.7 times faster, thanks to the high-torque AF motor and improved AF sequence borrowed from the A700. Autofocus in Live View is also as fast as it is in optical viewfinder mode, a ... ...With that description above make Sony A350 as a semi-pro camera. Not a bad thing, because it shows that the housing and appearance of the camera give you a good feeling, certainly with the Carl Zeiss lens mounted on the camera but If you need the resolution bump at a low price, the Rebel XSi is probably a better choice than the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350. ...

...very happy with it.
The Canon EOS 40D digital SLR camera is a really complete. It's a solid camera, with an excellent autofocus, a silent shutter, a good optical viewfinder and a good management. In addition, the Live View system works perfectly, we can walk in the rain with the camera and is an excellent tool with features of high quality. After seven models we must admit that it has been very high in the EOS SLR segment medium.
Technical Data
... ...What I like about the Canon EOS 40D is ready to work immediately, is very fast. After activating the camera filter vibrates to remove dust, and this operation will not take even a second. In addition, cleaning sensor stops when you press the shutter, which always takes precedence. Llevo 2600 pictures taken and I have not seen nor a hillock of dust yet.
* Stresses for being very quiet. And when we can also use objectives USM shoot almost silent. ...

Advantages: superb image quality, live view, light weight Disadvantages: plasticky feel, could use better weathersealing
...the same footing as the Canon 40D, except for the weathersealing and frame rate. (3.5fps/vs 6.5 (40D). Image quality is superb and is 12 megapixels which allows plenty room for cropping. The XSI allows allows Live View which allows Autofocus (but slow) vs the 40D which has Live View but cannot AF in it. The other cameras that the XSI competes with would be the Nikon D60 and Olympus E-420. The E-420 is smaller, and has more problems with Noise at ... ...1) someone who already has Canon Lenses and wants to keep the Canon-body to keep their lens investment.
2) First time DSLR buyer who is attracted to Canon - go into the store and compare against the Nikon D60 and see which feels better for you.
3) Buyer who is looking for a camera with Live View capability so they can see how the image looks on the LCD screen in addition to looking through a viewfinder.
For a comparative summary of this camera, ...
