A question was recently posted on my Facebook wall asking, “Is X camera better than Y camera?” We’re going to get straight into it here, and you considering second hand gear may want to pay attention.
Editor’s Note: For the love of Cartier-Bresson, do not ask me photography questions on my Facebook Wall. Instead, become a fan of The Phoblographer on Facebook or Twitter and ask us there.
It’s official, amongst the top searches on this site are Canon 7D and T2i reviews. Now, there is a rebate available until November 24th. If you’re interested in getting your hands on some Nikon goodness, you may also want to check out what B&H has available until October 30th. We had hands on with the D3100 before: check it out if you’d like. Take a look and help support the site.

For those of you that think that a DSLR will be too expensive of a choice: think again. Entry-level ones are becoming cheaper and cheaper and some are even rivaling prices of premium point and shoot cameras.
Canon XS with 18-55mm lens: $439.99 with free shipping from eCrater. If you want a more familiar dealer, Abe’s of Maine has it for only $10 more.
Samsung CL65 12MP Premium Point and Shoot with WiFi, Bluetooth, Geotagging and HDMI: $299.00 with free shipping from Amazon via LogicBuy.
So there you have it, a high-tech point and shoot or an economical DSLR. Make your choice, young jedi.
