WHICH DSLR TO CHOOSE?

Posted by Peter Marsh in Articles, Featured, Technical Aug 18th, 2009 | 2 responses

So if you are anything like me, it’s hard to keep up with slew of DSLRs that seem to be appearing every few months or so. I’ve decided to put together a list of the available DSLRs and their various price tags (again, if you are anything like me, price tag makes a big difference!). Having checked out a lot of the cameras out there, quality makes a big difference too, so I’ve organized them by HD quality for ease of eyes.

logos

FULL HD (1920 x 1080)
Canon 5D Mark II - $2700 (body only)
Canon Rebel T1i - $900 (with 18-55mm IS lens)
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 - $1500 (with 14-140mm lens)
Nikon D400 - $? (releasing later this year)
Nikon D750 - $? (releasing later this year)

HD (1280 x 720)
Nikon D90 - $900 (body only)
Nikon D300s - $1800 (body only)
Nikon D5000 - $740 (body only)
Olympus E-P1 - $800 (with 14-42mm lens)
Pentax K7D - $? (releasing later this year)

Also, the next big rumor is that Canon will be releasing a new 1D DSLR that will fix the whole 24p issue that everyone has had with the 5D. Biggest downside? The cool $4000 price tag…

    Where’s the 7D in here?

    Price certainly matters a great deal, but I’d wager that manual controls matter more for most.

    It might be asking a lot, but if you’ve got the data (and the time) I think a great many of us would be interested in a chart detailing the price, manual iso f-stop shutterspeed, HD quality and available frame rates.

    In the meantime, thanks for the great resource.
