| | | With the exception of the speed difference the d90 has the same "guts" as the d300 from Nikon. i kicked myself for not waiting and buying something better (started with the d60) ((which is the same as the d3000)) your not necessarily bankrupting yourself, and most camera stores have deals running on them on almost every major holiday at this point. save your penny's and buy something that's gonna give you room to grow! but picking up a d70s or a d80 is usually a good choice too, you can pick them up for 300-400 bucks used. and the function with older non afs lenses, which in turn gives you the ability to get older, but super good glass, for a cheaper price ala. used. one of the major stopping points with the rebel line and the thousand line from Nikon is the lack of a internal focusing motor which forces you to buy the newer style of lens. sony allows you to use Minolta lenses and the have zeis but you pay out the nose for it. if your looking into buying your first SLR, try to stay with something that will keep the cost down and the new slr body's at entry level are there to make you spend way way to much on lenses. mega-pixels are not as big a deal as everyone claims, i shoot a d300s and my friend shoots with a d70s, over the shoulder at the same time we get equal shots, the only noted improvement at this point is higher iso range. video- not all its cracked up to be, admittedly i use the video feature on my camera a lot, but mainly only because its there, the auto focus is slow if there at all on all models. and the two cameras the do it most efficiently one being the video SLR as i call it the "7d" and the "5dmk2", canon really is nailing the market when it comes to video. but its slow coming and the tech isn't quite there yet to warrant a purchase based on that.
my two cents ra

| | | Posted by robtastic I'm far from an expert, but I can say this. I owned a Panasonic TZ5 before my Canon T1i. The Panasonic was nice. VERY nice. But, it can't hold a candle to the Canon. No way. Plus, I was much more delicate with the P&S because it's just more fragile. I feel a lot more confident with my DSLR than I ever did with a point and shoot. Sure, it's bigger and bulkier, but it's more solid. I really didn't want the T1i when I first grabbed it. It felt VERY cheap to me. However, after putting a nicer lens on it and using it for awhile, I like it, a LOT. It won't feel cheap after awhile. It's well built, but light.
| The TZ5 isn't comparable to the LX3. TZ5 doesn't have any manual modes and the more you stretch the zoom length of a lens the worse the image resultant quality, it's why prime lenses will always exceed zoom lenses. Pickup a EOS-3 or 5DmkII and shoot for a while then go back to the t1i, you'll see the difference. I want to be able to strap a tripod to my back, zip the PnS in my pocket, and scale the outside of a building from heights between broken bones and holyshitdeath. I looked into the Ricoh GX100 (299 @ amazon), which offers similar specs and offers the longest exposure I've seen yet of any camera, 180". But I feel that the Ricoh would take probably 5-6 minutes to take a 3 minute exposure and I feel the better low-light performance on the LX3 would make up for it. I feel The Ricoh GX100 @ f/5.6 180" ISO 100 vs The Panasonic LX3 @ f/5 60" ISO 400 ... The higher ISO LX3 would still win the image shootout. And I rarely use bulb mode on my Rebel as it is so I feel the 60" of the LX3 would be more than sufficient.
