Canon Digital Rebel XSi or Nikon D5000?
A friend send email to me say:” There are two cameras I’m considering, the canon rebel XSi and the Nikon D5000. I know there is a new rebel T1i but that is too much for me, the D5000 is the top of my budget limit. The D5000 is also 200ish more than the XSi. But I don’t like the fact that D5000 won’t autofocus on lenses unless they are AF-S, because I want a 50 mm f/1.8 and it won’t autofocus on that. But i do like the faster fps, higher iso, build quality and movie mode as a bonus.”
Due to the two models’ price are same almost and you spend nearly $500 to buy them (Body Only) in Amazon.
At first, let’s take a look at the difference between Canon XSi and Nikon D5000.
1. Megapixel
There are not any big difference in megapixel. The Nikon D5000 is a 12.3 MP DX digital SLR camera and the Canon XSi is a 12.2 MP digital SLR camera.
2. LCD monitor screen
The Nikon D5000 has a 2.7 inch multi-angle LCD screen capable of capturing images at different angular perspectives; the Canon XSi contains a 3.0 inch LCD screen.
I like bigger monitor screen, and you?
3. Availability and Other function
Nikon D5000
Nikon D5000 offers a plethora of features not previously seen on its earlier offerings to the D-SLR family of digital cameras, capable of moving backwards and forwards, enabling the user to view a frame from different angular perspectives.
And we could find Nikon’s patented expeed image processing technology in Nikon D5000, which enhance the resolution of every image. be same as most Nikon digital cameras,Nikon D5000 include the Split second shutter response, it means you can continuous shooting up to four frames per second via Nikon D5000.
At the same time,there are one added feature to Nikon’s newest model including D5000, HD D-Movie mode, which allowing the user to capture moving images in high definition.
One feature should be notice as for D5000 create higher resolutions than ever before offered in Nikon’s line of digital cameras. This advance comes from 11 point autofocus and 3D tracking, which enables the user to focus a film with impeccable accuracy.
The camera also makes use of NIKKOR optics to ensure that even in situations when the camera tends to shake, the picture comes out clear, and an active sensor cleaning eradicates dust from the sensor as soon as it falls.
And how about Canon XSi?
Canon XSi
Canon XSi is a direct response to the sophistication found in earlier competitors in the SLR digital camera category. It includes patented technology specific to Canon digital cameras, including the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, DIGIC III Image Processor, and a CMOS sensor, which is an added feature to the newest permutations of Canon’s digital cameras.
It’s the best Advantages and you couldn’t find in digital cameras of other brand that Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System makes use of technology that gets rid of dust on the lens as soon as it appears – the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit shakes off dust as soon as it makes contact with the sensor.
There are some difficulty photographing in varying shades of sunlight, Canon XSi includes technology that enables the user to capture images perfectly enabling photos to be captured in dramatic lighting without producing the banding effect. So Canon XSi is fit for photography newbie or beginners.
As is indicative of most Canon digital camera offerings, the Canon XSi makes use of Auto Optimisation to ensure that when images are underexposed they still produce an image bright enough to be recognised.
Finally Canon XSi is compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards.
I think it’s easy that which one is best or you should chose.
