We're looking at a new digital camera after our old point-n-shoot canon finally bit the dust.
I'm looking seriously at the Canon T1i 15.1 MP, or possibly the XSi 12.2MP ... another option seems to be the Nikon D5000 with a 12.3 MP resolution.
Anyone have any links to kits that they've bought, or know about? I'm hoping to pick up the camera plus flash plus a pair of VR (or IS if Canon I guess) lenses, one standard, one in the 55-200mm range.
Any thoughts? Other options I should consider?
Some more technical details:
Does anyone put a pentaprism rather than a pentamirror in the sub-$1000 class of cameras? Does it matter?
Do these cameras have in-body autofocus motors, or are they on-lens.. I've seen this described but can't recall - and again - does it matter?
Thanks,
Todd
