Canon 1000D or Nikon D60 are both great picture takers and quality bases to build up on.<br><br>Seems a bit strange to not focus on image quality and useability but HD video and live-view swivel gimmicks.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 24th 2009 3:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's the Best Digital SLR Camera for Beginners?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</guid><description><![CDATA[hey matt,<br> THAT is A GREAT POST. it's very true too. i just picked up the d3000. it's a great dslr and despite the numerous settings it is not hard to learn how to use if you just sit  down with it and start studying. the options for the camera are really not that expensive and in just a couple of weeks you can learn how AND WHY a camera does what it's supposed to do. trust me, you'll enjoy it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[will]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2009 10:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's the Best Digital SLR Camera for Beginners?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</guid><description><![CDATA[I purchased a Nikon D60 after many years of an Olympus 3020... best purchase ever... Pictures are awesome, especially the kids sports pictures, I captured the best pictures ever of soccer games and cheerleading which is nice since it is their last year in school....I had owned a Pentax k 1000 film camera previous and the transition was pretty easy into the digital slr camera. All it takes is getting familiar with the features and menus]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2009 5:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's the Best Digital SLR Camera for Beginners?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just bought my first DSLR.  At first I was going to get the new Pentax K-x because of all of its new features.  In anticipation of getting into SLR photography, I bought an old 1970s film Pentax with a superb 50mm prime lens.  This camera is completely manual, and feels like a precision instrument in your hand.  After learning photography on this camera for a week, I took another look at the new Pentax, and it looked like a hunk of plastic in comparison.  The Canons and Nikons did too.  I was spoiled. I canceled my order, and took a second look at the small Olympus cameras--I can't afford the Pentax K-7 yet. So, I ordered the Olympus E-450 because it has that compact, squared off style and feel.  For $400 with two lenses, I love it.  One of the kit lenses zooms in to 300mm at a 35mm equivalent.   The only problem is that there is too much depth of field.  Too little bokeh. <br><br>I still aspire to own the Pentax K-7. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LloydChiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 7th 2009 3:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's the Best Digital SLR Camera for Beginners?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</guid><description><![CDATA[The author's comment about CCDs vs CMOS makes me realize he's an idiot.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[blogg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2009 9:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's the Best Digital SLR Camera for Beginners?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/07/whats-the-best-digital-slr-camera-for-beginners/</guid><description><![CDATA[My main concern is that the writer gives the wrong info.  Basically any good DSLR will take a good picture, the great picture requires the good lens not kit lenses.  Also to take that great photo requires the brain of the photographer.  Photographers practice their craft almost every day.  As a fashion photographer I constantly watch beginners make the mistake of buying kits not the DSLR body and a quality intermediate length lens.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[George R.

Don't fall for that swivel LCD screen, you can only use it indoors.   In bright sunlight you can see nothing on that screen.  They haven't made a good LCD screen that you can use out doors.  The Olympus has an anti-shake system that is built into the body of the camera instead of each lens. <br>The Nikon lens cost a fortune as a result of this, especially if you want to add a lens in the future.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Al P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2009 2:06PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
