DSLR Camera Showdown
Entry-level DSLR cameras are all the rage these days. Well, maybe not in Jordan, since you can’t buy them anywhere it seems. But everywhere else in the world, budding photographers are tossing their crappy point-and-shoot cameras and looking to purchase something a little more robust.
Canon was the first to issue a sub-$1,000, pro-sumer camera (the Canon 300D, a.k.a. the Digital Rebel) back in 2003. Nikon followed suite shortly thereafter, and it didn’t take long for competitors Sony and Olympus to jump into the fray.
This month, all four manufacturers have released the latest and greatest versions of their pro-sumer line: Canon’s EOS Digital Rebel XSi, Sony’s Alpha a350, Nikon’s D60 and Olympus’ E-420.
Obviously they all look decent at a precursory glance, so if you’re looking to take the plunge, be sure to check out Gizmodo’s un-official performance review first.
