Canon EOS 1000d details

[ianlamb]

Hi,
I have been pondering into buting 1 of 2 cameras as a first DSLR. The Canon EOD 1000d or the Nikon D3000. The kits I have found both have 18-55mm lenses. The Nikon has the VR (vibration reduction) system on it, but I cannot find a similar system included with the Canon. I know the systems are lens based, so does this mean the Canon lens is without any stabilization included?
Thanks

Im not sure, but you can tell weather canon has vibration reduction by looking for image stabilization (IS) i looked on jessops and they do the non-IS version of the 18-55mm so probably not. but ive been told that the IS is alot better than the non-IS. hope this helps.

You will have to look at the spec. This one lists the lens as IS= image stabilized.

If you asked me the Canon is better than the D3000 IQ wise...just my opinion. Regarding the lenses Canon IS lenses are Image stabilized...which I guess is the equivalent to VR in Nikons.
