Canon EOS-5D

Best Price: $3,483.00

from www1.cameraworld.com
the reason to get this camera are its compact size, large bright viewfinder and full frame sensor, which make it the only game in town for folks need all these characteristics in a single body.
from www.adorama.com
love everything about this camera except when changing lenses it seems to suck in loads of dust into the center, getting on the sensor and in the view finder, much more than in the canon 20d.
from shopping.yahoo.com
the eos 5d is unlike any previous digital slr in that it combines a full-frame (35 mm sized) high resolution sensor (12.8 megapixels) with a relatively compact body (slightly larger than the eos 20d,
from www.adorama.com
with the full sized digital sensor, i knew that this would be the digital camera that could better it!
from www.adorama.com
although it is not cheap, it is far more affordable than the other full sensor canon digital cameras.

Canon EOS 5D

Best Price: $2,498.00

from "Diamond Light Photography", www.adorama.com
it also has the unbeatable image quality of a full frame sensor.

just got the 5d..traded in my 20d...the 5d is a more solid camera with a full frame sensor...pictures are great and it is easy to use if you are familiar with the canon system...a little pricey, but
from www.amazon.com
full frame makes it a lot easier to see through the camera lens since you get a lot larger viewing area compared to the cameras with a cropped sensor.
from www.amazon.com
although the camera is a bit pricey at just over $3000, it is a full-frame 35mm sensored camera, and more then $4500 cheaper than the highest price full-frame cmos sensored camera which is the canon

Nikon D90

only things missing are high frame rates and full size (fx) sensor, but for the price it's a deal.
from "Carabell", www1.photoalley.com
love the better sensor and the high iso is fantastic.
from Frugal from Fort Collins, CO, www.circuitcity.com
the new cmos sensor is a plus also, with slightly less grain in the high iso noise.

new cmos sensor make big difference in noise on higher iso settings compared to d80.

Canon EOS 450D

i am scared if it has been detached from an important part (sensor??) .

chances are, the 8mp sensor from the digital rebel xt did better.

xsi is a wonderful camera, bettered perhaps by the slightly nicer sensor of the 40d, but worth the price to pay for the 40d?...not sure.

keeping the same sensor size and packing insane amount of pixels has big detrimental effect on image noise level.this camera is great because they have a dx sized sensor and 6.1 mpixels of high
from www.bestbuy.com
the sensor captures a ridiculous amount of detail, and you can make print sizes up to 8x10 without a problem.one of the things i noticed when first using the d40 is how responsive it feels.
from www.target.com
also, like any digital slr, they are by nature, subject to dust collecting on the low pass filter/sensor.
from www.bestbuy.com
the d40 has a larger image sensor than point-n-shoot digital cameras in the 6 mega-pixel range.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
supposedly, because it has an advance optical sensor, the 6.1mp is equal to that of a 10 mp point and shoot camera.

Pentax K20D

Best Price: $625.00

from www.bestbuy.com
i had the camera for about 2 weeks before i was forced to ship it back due to a defect in the sensor.
from Peter K. Burian, shutterbug.com
when compared to other d-slrs in its price range, the pentax k20d should be a strong contender because of its 14.6-megapixel sensor, splashproof body, and wide range of advanced capabilities.
from lt.dell.com
the samsung cmos sensor seems to be head and shoulders above the sony ccd's they used before.
from www.amazon.com
the k20d produces large image files, a product of a 14.6 mp sensor, and my choice of file type, so it can be slow to save to the memory card.
from www.amazon.com
but it should be important to remember, as a digital camera, it's sensor is big, but not 35mm big, and this changes the proportions and angles from what a film camera shoots.

Pentax K10D

Best Price: $624.00

it is the only camera in this price range to offer a sealed body, sensor cleaning, and image stabilization.

the camera has a 10.1 meg sensor, with excellent low noise reduction.
from www.adorama.com
this one did have a black dot that showed up on the sensor, and that is the only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
from Luke M from Liberty, MO, www.circuitcity.com
this is an aps-c camera, so there is an automatic 50% magnification dueto cropping of the sensor area (this is normal, only really pricey dslrs are full frame).
from www.bhphotovideo.com
the solid construction, high moisture resistance,anti-shake, auto- sensor cleaning, and control layout and function are great features.

this camera has more strong points than i can list here, but the self cleaning sensor and dust removal software make it worth the price.

i bought it for my father in law and after comparing to the 8mp rebel, i can see that the larger screen, easy controls and sensor cleaner make it a great camera.

my hat is off to canon on the body, sensor, processor, and feature set on this camera.

i'll be upgrading to the xsi in the near future, basically the same camera with a little bit higher resolution sensor, live view and a few other bells and whistles.

from www.bestbuy.com
cmos sensor is nice; canon has always been my favorite and rebel is too what's not so great:?instructions a bit confusing and hard to understand.
from www.amazon.com
there are many reasons why the xsi creates better pictures: it's 12.2 mp sensor has much better light sensitivity, so it can be used in darker conditions than a "point and shoot" camera.

in summary, this camera, like the f31fd before it, is all about the sensor.
from www.amazon.com
the fujifilm camera has an intelligent system that helps you take better pictures through the exr sensor which balances the flash and switches the mode automatically.
from www.amazon.com
using this mode, you can specify for the sensor to change how it generates an image to work optimally for three different conditions -- (1) high resolution and detail; (2) low light/high iso; (3)
from www.amazon.com
the long story short i feel this f200exr is a great little camera but i think all the hype about the sensor seems a bit over rated.
from www.amazon.com
digital sensors have had a difficult time dealing with high contrast scenes, and losing detail in the shadows and highlights.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-R1

Best Price: $25.00

from www.pricegrabber.com
(edited april 06th by ) this is a very good camera and, although pricey for a fixed lens digital the extra large sensor - the biggest for any dslr and non-slr d - provides little noise and artifacts
from www.ciao.co.uk
it was just in low light, where it had to use its ir sensor, that it was a bit slow - but accurate.
from www.ciao.co.uk
this camera provides slr quality without the risk of dust getting on to your sensor.
from www.pricegrabber.com
i also do not want to deal with multiple lenses and the problems they bring as you will eventually get dust on the sensor when you switch out lenses with a dslr.
from shopping.yahoo.com
kodak has just announced a way to double or quadruple the speed of an image sensor, and that could be a great improvement to the blur issue (far shorter shutter speeds): sony, take note!

from www.overstock.com
where others use a flash, this camera's high dynamic range sensor is able to take natural light images.that capability is essentially the difference between a dslr and a compact digicam.

i just detected that there is a dust spot on my picture (on ccd sensor).

• it almost seems a camera of this caliber would have more than 3 focus spot sensors but with all things considered i would still use the existing focus setup even if other options were available.

"...with an eight-megapixel sensor, rugged build quality, an excellent user experience, and several unique features, it's a great choice."

the sensor is larger and better able to generate better image resolution than the so called pro line of digital slrs.

in theory, the sonic filter guarantees that the user will not have dust spots on the ccd sensor mess up a beautiful once-in-a-lifetime photo.
