Entry-level dSLR: D3100 or 1100D?

**anonemus** · February 17th, 2011 11:19 PM

Hello folks! I know very little of dSLR. Tama ba that the latest entry level models of dSLR are the Nikon D3100 and Canon 1100D?

Pang office use sana. Which is better in terms of ease-of-use?

Should we also consider Olympus and Sony models?

I haven't used Canon yet but some users say that it's more user friendly...

though I'm more used to the feel of Nikon(since majority of photographers in my hometown also use them)

same predicament with TS, also looking forward to have my DLSR. Base sa input na nakuha ko sa isang camera shop mas madali nga daw gamitin ang Canon. With regards sa dalawang model, yung D3100 can record an HD video while yung 1100D wala at meron na rin daw guide yung D3100 kung papano madaling gamitin. Yan ang mga input na nakuha ko sa pagtatanong-tanong sa mga shops. I think you can't get wrong with these two brands.

D3100 is a great entry level from Nikon (caution: no AF motor). sa Canon naman, 550d is okay pero lumabas na ang 600D.

If I were you, since office property naman ito, buy only from Authorized resellers. Sayang din ang 3-yr warranty. It will cost a little bit more, a few thousands, but for peace of mind, it's worth it. Nakatulong ka pa sa local businesses and Govt since tax-paid ang mga ito.

dbgadgets sells these with 1yr service warranty (parts not included) which actually means, No warranty since he can't provide parts for it. Di ka naman makakabili ng parts nito e. If you're gonna buy at Hidalgo, there's Meyer and Henry's. Personally, I buy at Meyer. Ask Mang Ramon for CDSC (Nikon) and Canon Phils (canons) units. Mabait yun si mang ramon, pag good mood bigyan ka pa free filter. hehe

sa Memory card, buy those that are labelled Class 6 and above.
