MOTHER OF ALL ENTRY LEVEL DSLR COMPARISON?

Friday, November 11, 2005

Those who are new to digital photography and looking to buy a new entry level dSLR may soon have their answer and no longer have to juggle in many discussion forums on D70 and 350D and come out more confused than they started. Or at least, I am hoping they will have their answer. "Digital Photography Now", a digital photography website has initiated an interactive group test of 5 entry level dSLRS - Canon EOS 350D(Rebel XT), Konica Minolta Dynax 5D (Maxxum), Nikon D50, Olympus E-500 (EVolt) and Pentax *istDL.

The testing idea is unique in the sense that anyone can participate and suggest features to be tested. You can register in a forum and make a comment or request and they will try to evaluate the cameras based on this. I did not see a lot of inputs yet in the forum, but if it picks up and the cameras get reviewd thoroughly, will hopefully be a good help for a new dSLR buyer.
