canon digital camera 7d image
Envr.
I want to buy a professional digital camera in Japan (Nikon or Canon) probably from Akihabara, and I wonder is there a seasonal sales on such consumer electronics so that I get the best deal?
Answer
You are almost certainly better buying it from amazon.co.jp - it will almost certainly be cheaper. I got my Canon Kiss X4i there, and it was a lot cheaper than in the stores. If you want a professional digital camera, then the 60D or the 7D by Canon are excellent (Kiss models are semi-pro only). On the Nikon side, the D7000 and D5100 are worth looking at. Canon fans (like me) will tell you Canon is great - and they are! Nikon fans will tell you Nikon are great - and they also are! There is little difference in picture quality, or the availability of high quality lenses and accessories. Go to the shop, get both in your hands, see which feels better to you, then buy it cheaper from amazon.

What is a good dSLR camera for someone beginning photography?

I have always just used basic P&S digital cameras, but would like to learn more about photography. I don't know very much as I am just starting to think about getting a good camera and have just started doing some research. I've looked at the Canon Rebel T1i and the Nikon D5000 and also a friend told me about the Canon EOS 40D. Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hey,
Any of those 3 would be a great option. Many of us have used different DSLRs and when you're below 3500$, it's all the same. If you're using a camera only for low light (high ISO) then of course there will be differences, but technology today is so good there is barely any distracting noise at ISO 6400 while 3 years ago 1600 was..eh, acceptable.
T1i is a good choice but Canon could've done it better. The previous one, XSi, has 3 less megapixels and no video but same quality. T2i, the latest of these Rebels, is in my opinion, the best choice for beginners.
D5000 is good, but is fading out due to new cameras, especially because of D3100 and D7000. D3100 is almost the cheapest and is amazing.
40D is pretty old but still has great quality. Noise is worse than at T2i, 60D and 7D (due to technology) and the LCD Screen is bad compared to ones today. It doesn't have Microfocus adjustement and well, you can only get a used one.
Here's a post called 'Buying a DSLR, what's important, megapixels, features, brand, price, quality and which one to get - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/03/which-dslr-to-buy.html
That site has many more tutorials, tips, reviews and guides. Good luck!
