Comparing the Sony Alpha/Canon Rebel XTi/Nikon D80

In the last few months 3 major camera manufacturers have released their new digital SLR's - The Sony A100 Alpha, the Canon Digital Rebel XTi and the Nikon D80.

All of these are next-generation 10+ megapixel wonders, with dozens of features to help you take great pictures.

So which one is for you?  Let's read what a couple of respected reviewers had to say:

DPReview.com has their reviews of the Sony Alpha, Canon Digital Rebel XTi and Nikon D80 - all were "Highly Recommended" - their best rating - but each had different strengths and weaknesses.

DigitalReview.ca has this face-to-face-to-face showdown of the 3 cameras - they prefer the D80 over the other two.

CNET has a shootout between the Rebel XTi and the D80 - the D80 wins this one hands down.

 

Overall, the D80 seems to be the winner in most of these reviews, but the Rebel and Alpha are also great cameras.  If you're looking for a new DSLR, head down to a shop, pick up all of them and use them.  I've held all three and they're all very different to hold and shoot with, so find the one that's right for you!
