Any thoughts? http://robertsinclaire.com/2008/01/30/which-dslr-to-buy-any-thoughts/ http://robertsinclaire.com/2008/01/30/which-dslr-to-buy-any-thoughts/#comments Wed, 30 Jan 2008 14:57:48 +0000 Robert http://skyecade.net/2008/01/30/which-dslr-to-buy-any-thoughts/ Let’s say you have about $800 to $900 to spend on camera equipment. Let’s also say you have no other camera equipment to speak of, and no ties to any specific brand (anymore), other than a little experience.

What would you buy? Here is what I’m debating.

a. The new Rebel XSi camera kit. (coming in April) I noticed the standard 18-55 now has image stabilizer. That’s really nice, but it’s still just an entry level lens, right?. = $900ish

b. The Rebel XTi body only with a decent lens, such as Sigma’s 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 which seems to be getting good reviews. = $900ish

c. Or, since I have no more ties to Canon, make a complete switch to another brand such as Nikon. This scares me a bit since I have no experience with them, but you can’t argue with their reputation.

Decisions, decisions, decisions…
