Low Price Canon Digital Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens + Spare LP-E5 Battery + 8GB Card + Gadget Bag


First of all the XS is a fantastic camera. Very user friendly, and will be especially good for amateur photogs.
Second of all, they package it all in one box, and the cool thing is the Canon XS comes in its original box!
I found most of the extra stuff the outfit gave very useful.

CHEAPEST DEAL ON THE WEB.

8gig memory card is plenty of room!
The bag is a little too big though to carry around (although there is room for lenses)
I just bought a holster bag for my camera so it's easier to carry around.
Memory card reader is being used constantly!!
Extra battery is handy, very useful as well.Get more detail about Canon Digital Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens + Spare LP-E5 Battery + 8GB Card + Gadget Bag.

Discount Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon 18-55mm IS Lens + Tamron 70-300mm Di LD Macro Lens


I just bought the camera and it's everything that I expected it to be. I didn't have any problem with filter fit for the Tamron lense like I had read. But I did have a problem with the camera case. It's a cheap piece of junk. The fasteners are made of very cheap plastic and one of them broke the 2nd time that I opened it. I had already planned on buying a new one before I ordered this kit because it had recieved bad reviews. And they were right. I have a camera case that is almost 15 years old with plastic closures and they are still in one piece. A much better quality of plastic was used for it.
I know that I will really enjoy this camera even though I've just started to play with it. The price was great and so was the service from Cameta.

Cheapest Pentax K-x 12.4MP Digital SLR with 2.7 inch LCD and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Lens (Red)



While attempting to find a good ,mid range ,entry level DSLR, I stumbled across the pentax K-x. I mean, how could I miss that flashy red color. And after extensive research it wasnt just the red color that attracted me to this camera.

First off ,after testing many of the canons and nikons around the k-x's class. ( i.e. canon xsi, t1i, nikon D3000, D5000) I found the pentax much eaiser to pick up and get started. Being a previous canon user myself, the T1i seemed far to intimidating. Right out of the box with the K-x I was able to figure out how to adjust settings and within 15 minutes had some half decent shots.
However the only thing that did not seem to make sense to me was the placement of the delete button ( all the way over in left field). My hand has to shift to hit it. Which i suppose is not a bad thing, considering there is something heartless about a delete button on a camera. ( I love film and am stuck in my ways)
The feel of this in my hands is almost as good as my 35mm metal body film camera (gasp!)it doesnt feel like a cheap toy. Its solid, as one reviewer had also pointed out.
The cross processing feature sold me. I do a lot of cross processing with film , which quickly gets pricey. Although its not film , it pleases me ( and my wallet) that I can now get close results digitally. the digital filters are fun to play around with as well, most notablly: Toy camera , which imatates the 'old school' holgas/diana's that hipsters die for now a days.
live view seems a bit noisy to me. I can hear the camera 'think' ( click )when I change settings such as the iso. But , then again , this is the first DSLR that I have owned ...so it could be minor issue.
Video quality is superb.

and above all the price is right. ( much cheaper than the nikon's and canon's you'll come across in its range)
I urge those looking at buying a new dslr to look into the pentax K-X . you wont be dissapointed. PLUS who else has got a RED! camera.
win win.Get more detail about Pentax K-x 12.4MP Digital SLR with 2.7 inch LCD and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Lens (Red).

Buying Pentax K-7 14.6 MP Digital SLR with Shake Reduction and 720p HD Video (Body Only)


I have no complaints on this Camera except for the SD memory slot is to difficult to take the memory out of the camera... period! One thing missing on the new flagship camera from Pentax is tethered shooting, the ability of a camera of shooting directly to a computer open a lot of uses for it, but that is something I guess Pentax didn't though was necessary to pas from the previous model to this one.Get more detail about Pentax K-7 14.6 MP Digital SLR with Shake Reduction and 720p HD Video (Body Only).

Buy Canon Digital Rebel XSI 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Silver)


I love my new Canon EOS Xsi. With the new SLR, it was curious that the new 3" screen was showing you the camera settings rather than the image you were shooting, like with point and shoot cameras. Only with "Live View" will you see the images on the screen as you photograph. It doesn't matter. Since it's a SLR, you view your shot through the viewfinder, which has elaborate information you can see. Frankly, the screen on point and shoot cameras were impossible to see and you could never tell what you were getting on them anyway. The SLR lets you know exactly what you are getting by looking through the lens that is taking the shot.

I got a great deal on my 12.2 mpx EOS at Amazon, and I would urge anyone looking for a more serious camera than a point-and-shoot should jump in and make the plunge with this very excellent DSLR.

Purchase Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Live MOS Digital SLR Camera with Image Stabilization and 2.7 inch Swivel LCD w/ 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Lens


The E620 is my first DSLR and I have no regrets in buying it. Before this camera, I primarily used point-n-shoot cameras which I feel are great for casual events do to the portability and ease of just taking it out of my pockets and shooting away. However I wanted an upgrade to use for more special gatherings such as graduations, weddings, family functions, or vacations. I wouldn't say that the pictures I was taking with my point-n-shoot were bad, but they were definitely a step below photos taken from my friends DSLRs. The most imporant features for me were 1) size, 2) price, 3) live-view screen, and 4) quality of pictures with the included lenses. With those factors in mind, I narrowed my choice down to the Nikon D5000, Canon T1i, and Olympus E620

1) Getting used to small pocket point-n-shoot camers, I wanted a DSLR that was also small and light weight. I knew that there was no way I'd be able to fit the DSLR into my jacket pocket or anything like that, but I at least wanted something that was going to be easy to carry around and easy to take in and out of the bag. I've seen people who carried what looked like 10-15 pound bags of camera gear and this is what I wanted to avoid. The E620 is probably one of the most compact DSLRs out there. I went to the local store and compared the E620 with the Nikon D5000 and Canon T1i. It wasn't clearly the smallest camera since the Canon seemed pretty compact too, but when holding the camera, the build quality of the Olympus felt like it was a better assembled camera. The buttons, dials, and switches all felt like they were carefully put together and would last many years of use.

2) The price of the E620 was about a $100 less then the Nikon and Canon. This was a pretty big factor for me since I knew I also had to spend money on a bag, storage device, lens/camera cleaners, simple lens filter, possibly an extra battery. My budget for the entire package was about $800. I didn't want to get low quality accessaries like a $5 camera bag or the generic storage device, since I knew that my bag was going to help protect the camera from any accidental drops and the difference between a failed flash card and a one that didn't fail is almost priceless. The accessaries I wanted to get was about $100 street value, which was perfect since that was about the same amount of money saved from buying an Olympus compared to the Nikon or Canon.

3) Being used to point-n-shoot cameras, I really wanted a DSLR with a good live view screen. Before doing more research into the DSLRs, I used to think that live-view was standard on all DSLRS. They all had lcd screens which I thought was for the users to see what s/he was taking a photo of. However this is not the case and live-view is a relatively new feature on DSLRs. Apparently most DSLR users use the view-finder which I find to be slightly annoying. The E620 easily and acurrately focused on the subjects when using live view and this made it a very easy transition to use the E620. Now I just need to play around more with the manual controls and have my photos coming out the way I want them too. As an added bonus, the E620 offers a swivel screen. This is great when you need to raise the camera above your head to take a picture since you can easily swivel the screen so you can see what you are taking a picture of. Its also very useful when you need to take a picture from the ground up.

4) Lenses are the most important part of a DSLR camera. Even after a few years when a camera depreciates, a good lens can hold its value fairly well. Many times buying an extra lens will cost more then the camera itself! Since price was a concern for me I wanted a camera that came with decent lenses. I didn't want to spend an extra $500 on another lens. After reading many reviews, it was determined that the Olympus came with very qualified kit lenses that were quick to focus and took sharp looking photos. I understand that a more expensive lens should produce better results, but many times I always felt that my point-n-shoot cameras took really good photographs already, so there's a good chance that I'll might not even be able to tell the difference between the a good picture and a great picture. And again, I'm just a casual camera user and wouldn't even consider myself a hobbiest or an amateur photographer. So I think kit lenses will be enough for my needs.

I've owned my camera for about 6 months now and I must say that I'm still very pleased with it and that I'm slowly learing more and more about photography and how to take better pictures. This camera fit perfectly for my needs and happens to also take very good photos. For those of you trying to decide between the Nikon, Canon, or Olympus, you really can't go wrong with any of them, but just know what your needs are and it'll be a much simpler choice.

First SLR camera and after a month of having it and 1500 pictures later, can't complain. A little hard to figure out the no flash dark photos but I think that's more the user and not the camera. Pictures come out great, hard to get used to not having a zoom in the camera body but other than that easy to use.Get more detail about Nikon D5000 Digital SLR Camera w/ 18-55mm VR Lens + 16GB Memory Card + Spare EN-EL9 Battery + Case + Nikon School DVDs + Accessory Kit.

Shop For Nikon D3000 10MP Digital SLR Camera AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens with 16GB Card + EN-EL9a Battery + Nikon Gadget Bag + Accessory Kit


I bought this camera as a birthday gift for my wife. After chastising me for such an expenditure, she admits that, for the money, it is a really good bargain. She had an older Polaroid digital that she had outgrown: one New Mexico vacation told her that. The Nikon, while at first glance, seemed ominous to operate, was mastered by her after a couple of days. And, the quality of pictures produced is stunning! I highly recommend this camera for anyone interested in a maintenance-free, easy-to-operate, high-quality product.Get more detail about Nikon D3000 10MP Digital SLR Camera AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens with 16GB Card + EN-EL9a Battery + Nikon Gadget Bag + Accessory Kit.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 12.1MP Digital Camera with Lumix G Vario 14-45 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega OIS Lens (Blue)


This great camera is perfect for whom prefer to compose with the camera in the eye like God wanted, not at an arms length. The image quality is on par with any under US$1500 DSLR. My D90 is gathering dust because if I'm going out, I allways, instintively, grab the G1. It balances very well with the 14-45mm (28-90 equiv.) lens, which is VERY small for DSLR standards. This camera does it's work occupying 60% of the space and weight than an amateur DSLR. It's easy to learn, and it's intelligent ISO and aperture priority modes make it a very quick "decisive moment" camera. The 20mm (40 equiv.)f1.7 it's a dream lens, more than "tack-sharp" at about four ounces!
The electronic viewfinder isn't clear like an optical one, but it's BIG, full frame size, without the dreaded "tunnel effect". It can, if you want, get a highly zoomed center square that makes manual focusing, when you want it, a much simpler task.
The electronic viewfinder is the future of the industry: It turn practical to build much smaller cameras, "in the viewfinder" histograms (it's live view), center "zoom", no mirror slapping, which permits to use lower speeds without blurring, and less moving parts. It's a photography camera: I didn't pay for a movie-capacity that I didn't need or care.
The micro four thirds Panny Lumix G1 is the "goldilocks" camera: just right.
Even if the G1 is standing daily abuse very well, the build quality, materials, switches and knobs of my Canon G11 and Nikon D90 are better, firm, solid.

Nikon D300s 12MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II Telephoto Zoom Lens Top Quality


This is a great camera even if Ken Rockwell doesn't really recommend it. I am a previous D200 owner, but I am very fond of this D300s. I still have much experimenting to do with this. I love my custom setup with vivid colors for landscapes and jewelry but I'm always forgetting to re-set it to normal when I'm taking people pictures. I haven't used the video as much as I want to. One draw back I couldn't edit the video with my Sony Vegas movie editing software, although I may have an earlier version of the software. Has anyone been able to do that?
The 18-200mm is the best Nikon lens made. Extremely versatile and may be the only lens you'll ever need. I love the new locking system.Get more detail about Nikon D300s 12MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II Telephoto Zoom Lens.
