New Canon EOS Rebel T1I / 500d in stock!!!
The BRAND NEW Canon Rebel T1I / 500D will be in stock tomorrow, Friday 4/24!!!
That's right! The brand new addition to Canons successful digital EOS Rebel series will be in stock at Berger Brothers Camera this Friday April 24!
The Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500d) is Canons newest digital SLR camera in the popular Rebel series of entry-level DSLR cameras. The Rebel T1i is the fifth generation of digital Rebels from Canon and is being released just over a year after its predecessor, the EOS Rebel XSi (450d).
The new Rebel T1i has some great new features that make it a great entry-level DSLR camera and a nice upgrade from the Rebel XSi. First and foremost, the Rebel T1i features a newly designed APS size 15.1 MP Canon CMOS sensor similar to the one that appears in the Canon 50d, but specially designed for the Rebel T1i. This makes the Rebel T1i a great camera for making large prints or allowing for tremendous cropping ability while still maintaining great print quality.
The Rebel T1i is first DSLR camera to feature video. In fact the Rebel T1i features 1080p HD video! An HDMI port allows the Rebel T1i to be connected to HDTVs and monitors for easy viewing of video and still images.
Also new to the Rebel series is the 3" Clear View LCD screen that features a 920,000 dot VGA monitor. This is the same screen that is used on Canons more expensive 5D MarkII DSLR. This allows users to have a large preview of their images to check focus, composition and exposure. The Rebel T1i also features a 'live view' mode that allows real time images to be displayed on the rear LCD, allowing for compact camera style shooting with DSLR quality images.
The Canon DIGIC 4 processor allows for continuous shooting at speeds up to 3.4 frames per second up to 170 jpgs, making the Rebel T1i a great choice for parents wishing to shoot action shots of their young sports stars.
The Rebel T1i has many of the features found on the Canon 50d, packed into a lighter body similar to the Rebel XSi body.
Overview of the Rebel T1i features:
- 15.1 Canon APS size CMOS sensor
- ISO range of 100-3200 (expandable to 6400 and 12800)
- Full HD video recording at resolutions up to 1920x1080 (20fps at 1920x1080; 30fps at 1280x720 and 640x480)

Nikon D90 DSLR 18-105mm VR Kit
Nikon D90 DSLR 18-105mm VR Kit
The D90 is in the house and the general consensus is that it offers some significant improvemets over the excellent D80. To begin, the D90 has a 12.3 MP CMOS sensor while the D80 has a 10.2 MP CCD sensor. A CMOS (complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is a sensor touted for its faster operating speed and lower power consumption when compared to a CCD sensor.
The D90 has added a sensor cleaning system and increases maximum ISO sensitivity to 6400 as compared to the D80's 3200. Frames per second (fps) has stepped up from 3 in the D80 to 4.5 in the D90. The LCD monitor on the D90 is a larger 3" versus the D80's 2.5." Add Movie Mode and Live View in the same size body as the D80 and it is easy to see why some Nikon owners might be swayed to move up to a D90.
In various blogs I have seen much debate about how useful it is to have a video capability in a DSLR. There seems to be as many photographers for as against. The D90 can only take 5 minutes of video and while the results are not bad, they in no way match the video capability of a camcorder. On the other hand, having video capability could be useful for that rare moment when you come face to face with Big Foot.
There also seems to be two camps when it comes to Live View. I think it is best to consider these recent innovations as more bells and whistles. It can't hurt to have them available and I'm told that these features do not increase the cost of the camera in any significant way.
Bottom line, the D90 is an improvement when compared to the outstanding D80 and offers users more versatility - not a bad thing if you think about it.

Nikon D700 12 Megapixel Full Frame FX Camera
Here at Berger-Bros. we are proud to introduce the new
Nikon D700 SLR. As of today we are accepting pre-orders of this camera and its accessories. Expect them to arrive in our store at or around Aug 1. 2008.
At first glance you would think this is identical to the D300 but a quick check on this SLR's specs will tell you a much different story.
The D700 sports a 12MP full frame FX format for simply magnificent photos and even a full frame viewfinder. This is somewhat comparable to that of the D3 but with a couple of advantages. First advantage is that its body is like the more compact D300. The second advantage over the D3 is that the D700 is officially the first professional Nikon camera with a built-in flash. Thirdly, the camera even includes an internal image sensor cleaning with micro vibrations to rid the sensor of any dust particles as seen in many of the new SLRs in the market. The shutter speed is slightly slower than the D3 at 5 frames per second but with the MB-D10 battery grip, you can raise that up to 8 frames per second.
Here's some other features to the D700:
- More flexible "hard button" programming
- Live View w/ virtual horizon line
- ISO 200 - 6400
- Same ultra-fast startup and shutter lag as D3
- HDMI HD video output
- 3.0" 922,000 pixel LCD monitor
- UDMA compatible single CF card slot
