30D vs. 20D? Are the differences worth another purchase?

bysuemccartin Jul 1, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic
Cons Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D
Recommended it? Yes

My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel only has 3 fps which just isn't enough for... Read full review »

Impressions on the CANON EOS 30D : finally mature, but still expensive

byketelbinkus Mar 12, 2006
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced...
Cons viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for...
Recommended it? Yes

Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera.
I got it with a Canon f4.0-f5.6/17-85 EF-S IS zoom, found it in Sim Lim square in Singapore.
Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still there: very good image quality with its... Read full review »

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
