Cant Decide HELP | You like point and shoot style? NEX. You want more manual control? D3100.
If you have any interest in upgrading your photography in the future, probably better w/ the SLR.

Cant Decide HELP | honestly between the two I'd take the NEX, the D3100 doesn't feel that great albeit still easier to control manually than the NEX. But as a DSLR the 3100 feels relatively toyish. You do lose out on a lot of AF lens selection with the NEX though, so you might be best off with a used Nikon or Canon DSLR for around $500

Nothing at BestBuy Burnaby for the SD1400IS for an open box.
The ELPH 100 HS is a really great point and shoot. Picture quality is nice for a point and shoot in that range. Also one of the only ones that do 1080p HD video.

Bump,
Ive finally decided to go for an entry level DSLR, coming from a point and shoot.
How is the Canon Rebel T3?
D3100 and others are a bit more pricey but is it worth it?

But the ELPH 310 hs is being released soon and has 8x zoom...granted my main camera is a sx20is with 20x zoom, so maybe I don't need all that zoom for my second camera...

I don't know much about cameras, but I started looking yesterday. What's the diff between a t2i and a t3?
Looking for something I can learn to shoot with, has HD capabilities for videos, and when I lean a bit down the road, has that affect that the object is nice and crisp, while the background is blurry. Posted via RS Mobile | |

T2i is the better camera when it comes to specs. I also wanted the T3 but decided that because it was a beginner camera, that i would want a new camera after a while.
With the T2i i can play with it and keep it for couple years down the road.

should just get one with a sensor similar to a t2i/7d/60d/t3i, new or used. they all use a similar if not same sensor.
if i were to buy into a system right at this moment, i'd get a d7000

Yeah, the D7000 is probably the best APS-C DSLR on the market right now, but not for long, if the Sony A77 is as good as it is in real life as it is on paper.

$990? wow, paid that for my 995 11 years ago, and yours is probably 3x-4x the camera.

I read that the only difference is a flip screen and a flash? Otherwise they are the same camera? Is that true?
Also, how are nikons compared to the t2i? What would be the nikon equivalent?
I'd love some advice, I'm going crazy doing research, and I don't understand all the terms lol. Posted via RS Mobile | |

As I posted above, I just picked one up last weekend sales at both futureshop and visions were trying to get me to pay that extra 150 for the T3i. Visions went as far as telling me that there were no more T2i left in stock LOL when unsaid I'm going to futureshop they magically got 2 more in stock
But yea I did lots of research too and I think it would be the D90 for competitor
T3i is no better than the T2i, just a year newer and an additional flip screen. Posted via RS Mobile | |

In the market for a d90 soon, as it will be my first camera.
Anybody have any problems with it? Or any tips on using the camera?
What's a good price that I should be looking at?  | |

Posted via RS Mobile | Actually, I found the digital zoom when shooting video to be an awesome feature when shooting wildlife with the T3i, and the flip-out screen is more useful than it seems. The hinge is a major weak point though, as with any camera with a flip-out screen. Quote:

What's a good price that I should be looking at? | The D90 is getting a little long in the tooth...I'd get the D7000 instead, as it is much better in terms of image & video quality.

The T2i fits my needs and price better.
