Comment
Clearly, these two(2) dSLR cameras are very impressive and versatile in their own way. There are unique features only found in each particular model that help deliver high quality images or photos and convenience as well too.
  • Canon 1000D's live view is a great advantage when you want to do Astro-photography(with Celestron, Meade computerized telescopes) or when you work with Spotting scopes like Swarovski, Yukon 100X Kit or better - is when you don't have to peek at the viewfinder to see your subject and this help prevent the Scope from moving out of sync with it's aligned subjects
  • Nikon D60 on the other hand allows you to shoot in low light conditions because of it's good ISO values
  • I like the Nikon D60's Dynamic D-Lighting it's a feature that a lot of casual shooters will appreciate, as it will help with a lot of the difficult lighting situations amateurs often have to shoot in
  • Support for 3rd party lenses might be fewer, as I was told by many shop owners and expert alike for D60

  • Canon 1000D has a wider range of 3rd party lens which can fit and work well with this camera, specially the Sigma lenses - I just love them, Sigma lenses are great for amateurs like me & they are not expensive with good local support as well too
Still; there are a lot of things to talk about, when it comes to things that these two(2) dSLR can do.     Regardless; which You choose and use.

They say Creativity is only limited to What You can imagine, perceive so let's go out and give it a spin.    Who knows, we might find something breath taking to shoot.
