Which one is better? Canon 300D or Pentax K100D Super? Price??—Jack W

Don’t say that the 300D is outdated and can’t fit alot of lens. I just want to know bout the image quality and advantages. No brand complains here too please. And can you suggest a lens to come along with it?

Hello,

I have the canon 300D and I love it. The image quality is great and all the lenses I had for my Rebel 2000 work on it just fine. I have bought new lenses and they all work with the camera as well. If you don’t intend to make poster size prints, then this would be the camera to get. You can make an 11×14 easily and still have great quality. You can spend the money you save on the body to buy some really great lenses. I use a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens a lot. I also use a 28-135 lens. This is probably my favorite lens. You might also want the 75-300 with or without IS. You can buy this camera on ebay for about $400. This will save you a ton over other, more up-to-date cameras, allowing you to spend the money where it really counts-the glass! Spend your money buying a good camera (the 300D) and really good glass and you will be really happy with the way your pictures turn out.

By the way, I just upgraded to a 30D and now use the 300D as the back-up camera. I keep a lens on it so I can switch cameras quickly to avoid missing the shot. I still get great results and none of my friends or clients can tell which camera the photos come from. The 300D is a great camera!
