Ok I already talked about some of my probs on the canon section of this site. But I am starting to reorganize my thoughts.
This is kinda background info: I am a 16 year old so cash is, of the essence. This (as you can tell by the title) is the first dslr I would own, though I have used dslrs in the past, so I know how to use them. I really would want to use this camera for overall everything (landscape, people, building, you name it, so I really would like two lenses but I know that would add a hefty price.
My question is, what is the difference between the cameras such as the Canon XT and XTi and the Sony D40 and D40x. Or even the Sony Alpha. Or even skip those and looking at any Olympus. I had always thought that Canon and Nikon were "the best" so thats why I mentioned them first.
Also do focus points make a difference? I really used the canon D10 and I know that has 7, the same amount as the canons XT, is this really all I would need for general photography? Or would the 3 in the Nikon's D40 make a difference, same goes for the 9 in Canon's XTi. I don't even know how many Sony's Alpha has.
Also(I know I am really asking alot, so just answer the parts that you know) I really have been only looking at the Canons and the Nikons, for some one like me, is the Alpha all I really need? It does have the IS built into it so that is a plus, and I doubt that I will be buying any lenses once I buy my "package".
I also have a few more questions but this is large enough so I will wait a few days. And its not like I have tried looking this info up, I just need alittle more help from pros like you guys, or at least people that know the "info" lol
I thank any one who will help me out
