Canon 1000D or Nikon D60

Doodah7 · 2009-06-14 22:18:12

Looking for advise please: I am hoping to buy my first DSLR soon and have narrowed it down to the above two cameras. My indecision lies in that the Nikon D60 comes with a VR lens while the Canon 1000D now no longer seems to come with an IS lens but their ordinary 18-55mm kit lens. Is image stabilisation in lenses vital??…

Looking for advise please: I am hoping to buy my first DSLR soon and have narrowed it down to the above two cameras. My indecision lies in that the Nikon D60 comes with a VR lens while the Canon 1000D now no longer seems to come with an IS lens but their ordinary 18-55mm kit lens.

Is image stabilisation in lenses vital?? for a beginner?? I would intend staying with the kit lens until I get a little bit more proficient. It's a pity that Canon stopped selling the 1000D with the IS lens as I think this would have swayed me to this camera.

From reading reviews, the specs of the respective cameras seem fairly evenly matched. I know that they are both reasonably older models but they are spot on in my price range. The 450D would be ideal but it just that little bit too expensive.

I would be interested to hear the views of the knowledgeable folk on this board to help me decide.

Thanks in advance.
