What DSLR camera should I buy?
I am looking to upgrade my camera as I am “wetting my feet” in the microstock community . Photography is a hobby of mine and I enjoy challenging myself to macro shots of insects ( extreme close-ups) and specific shots aimed at the microstock community with a wide range of purpose. I am torn between the Nikon D80 and the Canon XTi. I like the idea of the Canon’s dust removal system -as cleaning the sensor seems so delicate and , for lack of a better word, scary-to me. I understand thatboth cameras perform comparable to each other and that the Nikon seems to have a better range of lenses that are backward compatible which is nice if you come across one at a garage sale. Should I worry about the cleaning of the sensor? How often do you have to clean the sensor and if you take it in whats the cost to do that? I am open to all opinions to help me make this decision and if there is another camera that I should consider, please , speak up! Thanks in advance!
Here is some information you may find useful.
If you don’t change your lenses in a dust storm, you will not need the dust removal system. I have had DSLR’s for over five years and have only had to remove dust three times. Cleaning dust of a sensor is free because you do it yourself. You lock up the mirror and using a little “puffer” bulb (found at camera stores) lightly puff away the offending dust particle.
Things Nikon’s have that you may want to consider.
Image comment; you can embed your copyright notice on each image as the photo is taken. You can even comment on each shoot, if you are good at texting. I just leave my copyright there and then I have no worries if someone steals my work.
Flash Commander. This can control remote Nikon flash units from the camera via radio … up to three different setups.
Nikon has not cheapened its camera bodies to last only as long as the current technology is viable. You can expect a Nikon to last for decades, not 100,000 shutter actuation’s.
You are right when it comes to the lenses available.
There are a ton of them.
