Canon sweeps the digital SLR field

Product Review

Canon and Nikon have been neck-and-neck in the digital SLR wars for years now, but Canon has pushed ahead this year with three standout models, two of which shoot video — the big innovation in this category. Digital SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras offer more flexibility — namely interchangeable lenses — than point-and shoot digital cameras and cost anywhere from $700 to $2000. Some SLRs are bundled with a kit lens, others are sold separately.

Among current DSLR cameras, Canon takes the lead with two new models, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i (Est. $750) and Canon EOS 7D (*Est. $1,900), that shoot smoother video than Nikon’s current models. For still shots, the well-reviewed Canon XSi (*Est. $600) is this year’s best entry-level DSLR. Rivals abound: the new Sony A850 (*Est. $2,000 body-only) offers a full-frame sensor — a feature formerly reserved for pro cameras. The Nikon D300s (*Est. $1,600 body-only) offers video and fast action shots.
