Best DSLR for night scenic shots.
by annyeap14 - 11/9/07 11:52 AMI'm looking to buy a DSLR that's pretty reasonable in price for taking dusk to night scenic shots. What are some recommendations? Thanks.

Night scenes are not difficult for any DSLR camera.
They do require some knowledge on the photographers part.
And a tripod is a must.
Any of the low cost DSLR cameras will do.

Canon DSLR seems to handle very well.

Either Canon 400D ( Rebel XTi ) or 40D will serve you well. But, spare your money for a tripod and a bright lense as well. Don't get them all at once. Find out what you really need and shoot mostly. Good luck.
thanks

Low light is always a fight

It has the greatest flexablity with light modulation. Now that is only refering to the cheap consumer cameras that they discuss on cnet. They are for the most part blinded by unreasonable bias for Cannon, one of the poorest DSLRs on the market including their full frame model. The Father and Son from Texass don't have a clue.
Since the Nikon D200 sells for close to $2,000, it is

Most people who prefer either Nikon or Canon will concede that both Nikon and Canon make excellent cameras. That should put "mrobzob's" comments in perspective.
IMHO, Canon has the lead right now in the area of low light performance. This is particularly true in the price range you are looking at.

How about technology, 12bit of Nikon D200 vs 14bit of Canon 40D ? The color bit depth is significantly different ! Besides, the sales price of Canon 40D looks more charming than Nikon D200, even the camera will soon get obsolete ! Anyone here be the judge !
