have now had the opportunity to review the recently released

May 2nd. We have now added a list outlining the
respective advantages of the Nikon D90, the D5000 and the
Canon Rebel T1i as well as a few comparison images between
the Nikon D5000 and the Canon Rebel T1i. (Original story:

At
the 2009 Photo Marketing Association (PMA) Convention held
in Las Vegas early last month, the rumours were already swirling
that Canon would soon be unveiling something new and "exciting"
in the Digital SLR arena. A few weeks later on March 25th
Canon confirmed the speculation and introduced the Canon Rebel
T1i digital SLR camera (story below). As of today, the 12.1MP
Nikon D90 SLR is the closest competitor to the Canon Rebel
T1i / EOS 500D. The Nikon D90 is the first digital SLR camera
to feature an HD movie recording option. Since its introduction
last year, the Nikon D90 has quickly become one of the best
selling enthusiast oriented SLR cameras on the market and
has earned a reputation as the king of the hill in its category.
Canon has now responded to the success of the Nikon D90 by
introducing and positioning the Canon Rebel T1i into the same
class at a slightly lower price point. How does the Rebel
T1i compare to the Nikon D90? Check out our Canon Rebel T1i
