I am a big fan of SLR cameras, recently Nikon and Canon just announced their latest lineup, here is a complete comparison of the new Nikon D300, Canon EOS 40D and Olympus E-P1. The Sony Alpha 2 is also on the horizon, for those that wants to get their hands on the Sony Alpha, hold your horses.

August 25th, 2007This spec comparison sheet was prepared by Olympus and leaked a while ago, before the 40D release. Therefore, many of the 40D specs are incorrect. Should be: 10 MP, 6.5 FPS, 3.0″ LCD, etc. And I’m not sure the Olympus focusing system is “world’s quickest”, when it takes 1/2 second to just start up! :)

August 28th, 2007The spec for Nikon D300 from the comparison sheet isn’t accurate at all. It is supposed to be:
AF point:51-point Multi-CAM 3500DX
Continuous shooting: 6fps, (8fps with grip).
Dust Reduction: yes
Live view: yes

May 15th, 2008I have a Canon 400D and it is great, for your information, the reason why I decided to buy canon instead of Nikon is the after sales service.
I heard Nikon’s after sales service is terrible, not from one professional photographer, but a number of them.

May 24th, 2008I agree with Melee, burt for Canon 40D. The maximum burst is 6,5 fps, not 5.
