Canon t1i or Canon rebel xs?

canon 75-300mm dslr camera lens review image

Alex S

I am getting this as a gift but I'm not sure which one.
Price doesn't worry me because both are on sale at the same price (because it's a boxing day sale)

If I buy the xs it will come with a 18-55mm and a 75-300mm DC Lens.
But if I buy the t1i it comes with a regular 18-55mm but it also shoots video.

And I am stuck on which to buy :/

Thoughts? Opinions? Reviews on the cameras(if you owned one of them)?

Also, this would be my first DSLR camera.

Answer
Get the T1i. The 75-300 that comes with the XS is not a very good lens and is certainly not a reason to get an inferior camera for the same price.

Which camera is better, the Nikon D3100 or the Canon EOS Rebel T3?

I'm trying to decide between these two cameras with links below. I take a lot of photos at children's parties, both outdoor and indoor where there is a lot of action. Can you tell me which you think would be better for that kind of activity while producing clear and sharp images? (Also, is there one that you can make the background more blurry than the other?) I would particularly love to hear from people who have actually used these cameras. Though if you have insight based solely on the specifications listed for the cameras that would help too since I am not all that experienced with dslr cameras. Thank you :)

Answer
There's no doubt that the D3100 is one of the best entry-level SLRs available, offering very good image quality coupled with speedy operation and straightforward handling - at least for conventional eye-level use:
