Should i get a Nikon D60 or a Canon XS???

Question

i want to get a camera, and i just want to know which is better?

-there the same price, so that doesn't have a factor to it

Answer 1

I use only Canon cameras and have owned many SLRs and DSLRs, but I would advise you to choose the D60. For one, the new Rebel XS is much over priced and a D60 would be well worth the money.

Answer 2

The Nikon D60 it got a better reveiw from the professionals and ashton kutcher.. lol

Answer 4

Your gettting a much better deal for your money with the D60. I have used the D40, 60, 80 and the D3 and none of them have givven me any bother and they are all superb cameras!

Answer 5

I would go for whichever you prefer.  The Nikon has a better range of higher quality lenses and acvcessories, and is slightly better built.  Weather sealing on a Nikon is superior to that on a Canon, and I have owned many models of both brands.

Software wise it is Canon's way, but most people do better to ignore the software that comes with the camera and use Photoshop.

Also remember that you make the photos more than the camera does.

have fun!

Oh, I use a D300, a D3 and got my hands on the D700 for a couple of weeks.  I had a D60 for several months and had no issues with it either.

Answer 6

canon

Answer 7

well the d60 did come out very recently which is a big factor and the XS is just coming out or something which is also good. it might have more features and stuff because of that.

because it's nikon you can also use any lens even if it's not for a dx lens and even the old ones. i dont think canon does that.

i've got a d300 and i personally prefer nikon. another thing is which brand will give you a better lens for less price. i'm not really sure which but you should check up on that and make the dicision

good luck and have fun taking nice pics
