Olympus Camera E410
Would you choose a Olympus, Sony, Nikkon or Cannon SLR Digital Camera?
I have a choice of an Olympus E410, a Sony alfa 100 with an extra 300 zoom lens, a Nikkon D40X with an extra 200 lens or a Cannon 400D. All of the cameras except for the Sony and Nikkon come with a standard lens however the Sony has a zoom to 300mm and the Nikkon a zoom to 200 with them and they cost a little extra. Can anyone help me decide and give me some of your reasons please. Thank you very much.
Of the four choices, I would go with the Canon 40D simply because it’s a better built camera. For one thing, it has a magnesim alloy body while the others do not. The Olympus, Sony, and Nikon models you listed are good choices, but they are not professional grade bodies like the Canon.
While you’re considering the Canon 40D you might also want to take a look at the Nikon D200. If I were spending $1,300 on a camera body, I would actually get a Nikon D200 (which I did). Both the Canon 40D and the Nikon D200 are considered “prosumer” bodies — basically the step between the entry level DSLR and the full blown professional level DSLR.
I think you will be happier in the long run if you buy the more advanced camera now, and get an additional lens later. Go for the prosumer body, either a Nikon D200 or the Canon 40D.
Edit
Oops, my bad.
I didn’t realize that the Rebel XTi is the same model as the 400D — too confusing.
Both the Canon and Nikon are great cameras with tremendous system support behind each one. If you’re getting two Nikon lenses plus a body for the same price as the Canon body with only one lens, then I would get the D40x. If the extra lens for the Nikon is a third parth lens, then it’s really a toss up. I would probably go with the Nikon because I’ve been shooting Nikons for 35 years.
Sorry about any confusion.
