I am looking at getting my first DSLR camera and would just like some opinions.
Firstly I have no bias towards either Canon or Nikon, though I would prefer one of those two [just personal preference].
Now one guy who I know that is really into photography suggested the Nikon D60 or the Canon Rebel XTi [as a first, he would rather see me get the D80.. lol Though he doesn't really 'follow' lower end cameras since getting his D80]. Now from what I have read the XTi seems to have bugs that the XT didn't really have [though the XT seems to be hard to find]. And at the same time the D60 seems to just be a D40 with a few little extra things.
So I ask firstly, what would your suggestion be for a more "entry" level DSLR and secondly, is the D60 worth the 300 higher buck price tag over the D40 and/or how bad is the XTi really?
The XSi and D70/80 are out of my price range, even when on sale.
Also I do not like using things like eBay and do prefer new opposed to used [personal preference based on experience with various different things]. And I live in Canada so Euro stores/prices mean little to me... lol
