Canon EOS 30D

Best Price: $1,500.00

from "Bubba", www.adorama.com
it's a great camera for the casual photographer who wants more lens options and control over a point and shoot.
from www.adorama.com
however, canon has done a good job of balancing it out.the controls seem very well placed.
from www.amazon.com
by travelr's tales.wich means the artistic value is kinda missing, the controls feel a little weird at first, also the camera seems akward...so i was not really enjoying this version of crash.
from www.amazon.com
the camera encompasses such a broad range of creative control that the absolute novice can take it right out of the box and start photographing in 5 minutes (don't forget to buy a compact flash card

2 RECOMMENDED by 60 people for CONTROL

Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera

Best Price: $2,423.00

from www.amazon.com
maybe it is that the controls are very similar but for whatever reason i am getting really stunning results with the d300.
from www.amazon.com
the controls are neatly arranged and handle better than the d100 and it is more comfortable your hands.
from www.amazon.com
the d300 is fast to focus, has plenty of megapixels, advanced controls, and has a tacky-feeling grip which helps you hold the camera.
from www.amazon.com
- the d300 picture controls, specially saturation, reaches a level of in-camera adjustments unheard of in previous nikon dslr's.
from www.amazon.com
once i read about the extraordinary control over color now in the photographer's hands, this camera became extremely compelling.

Canon PowerShot G10

Best Price: $365.00

from "labsolut", www1.photoalley.com
definitely not a dslr, but in a class by itself in that it can function like a dslr, with total control over iso, ap, and ss.
from www.amazon.com
it has the capacity of shooting in raw and jpeg, which is essential for any discerning photographer and gives superb creative control for such a small camera.
from www.amazon.com
the advanced features and physical controls also make it a great starter camera for amateur photographers.
from www.amazon.com
the camera always felt on the verge of slipping out of my hands, especially when holding it in my left hand while messing with the controls with my right.
from www.amazon.com
full manual controls allow the photographer to experiment with the more creative aspects of digital photography, but the automatic settings assist with creating wonderful photos too.

from www.thenerds.net
it is a solid upgrade over the 400d, better in every way except that i liked the controls better on the 400d, i have to admit that i don't like the control panel.
from lt.dell.com
i choose the 30d over the alpha because of it's better design and feel of the controls.

Nikon D90

Best Price: $1,187.00

from Frugal from Fort Collins, CO, www.circuitcity.com
the things that make this camera better than its predecessors, are the 3-inch lcd, live-view (although at the expense of shutter lag), and the picture controls in the menu.
from www.amazon.com
there are lots of bells and whistles on this camera to help control the picture quality both before and after you take the picture, but you really can set this camera on one of its automatic settings

from www.amazon.com
i do not understand how nikon's solid camera, which can even control an off-the-camera slave flash wirelessly, can be fitted with such fragile covers for the battery and media compartments.
from www.amazon.com
once i learned about the secondary control wheel, i could change my camera settings much faster than the d40.
from www.amazon.com
it also has four way controllers which function to change auto focus points or choosing options in the menu.

the answer is "yes." however, if a compact camera has more manual flexibility and control, then it can better manage the trade-offs with the small ccd.

my previous camera, an s60 was fantastic due to the fact that i could have more fine-grain control over my pictures than your typical point-and-shoot camera.
