you are comparing 2nd hand vs brand new with 3years warranty...

palit ka bago na karaan (going 3years old) na d90 plus 18-55 na 2nd hand (which is not an off the shelf option...hassle) plus the none existent real warranty to talk about...
vs the latest 550D plus brand new 18-55IS (which you can pickup at any camera shop no hassle) plus with extended 3years warranty...

overall cost 550D better gyapon specially if you want to compare apples with apples as in all brand new all none warranty...or all brand new and all with warranty (2yrs warranty sa nikon vs 3yrs warranty sa canon) canon would come out cheaper

aside from the builtin wireless ittl trigger on the d90 the canons offer is superior for the most part specs wise
higher resolution
yes ive had many situations where the resolution made a difference like when i shot for timex, resolution was the key thing for that project where other photographers they commissioned failed to deliver. i got booked again because of that.
100 - 6400 ISO with expanded ISO not available on the nikon
higher resolution LCD monitor
video and audio capability is far superior
Canon can record 1080p video clips at 30 fps and 720p video clips at 50 and 60 fps. has a stereo microphone input for the recording of videos in stereo sound. has full manual control and full AF during the video recording.

feel and preference...very subjective na yan...

ive tried both...i prefer the canon

Cge gud. Prakticalay raman to ako. Bydway, u cn get a d90 kit for 44k and 18-105 na ang included. Brandnew man kaha dapat.

Oh... I forgot... Ni palit naman d.i ug D90 ang ts. Hehehe

thats not with 2yrs CDSC warranty...
then compare the price with a canon na dili pud 3yrs CMP warranty...
coz if CDSC vs CMP prices ang icompare, mahal gyud kaayo ang CDSC.
patas bah...prakticalay man gani, compare 2nd hand with 2nd hand pud.
thats all im saying

my post was for you in your unfair comparison of prices.
as for the TS as he mentioned he doesnt need video, etc. those features that the canon excels in.
so guess he got the right camera for himself. like i said in the past, to each his own. wa man ko mu comment that he got a bad cam coz d90 is a very good camera. wa man koy comment sa iyang decision.

not everyone has the same needs. personally i have taken advantage of the higher resolution of the canon. in any case, both cameras are excellent photography tools. it still comes down to the user!

lipay man ko sa ako D90... hehehe.. la pud ko nagmahay... there are factors why i decided to go for the Nikon D90. First, the D90 has a bigger view finder. Second, the 18-105mm lens kit feels much durable than the canon's 18-55mm - payter ang canon kung maka-afford ka ug L Lens. Third, as i wanted to have a 50mm F1.8 lens, daghan reports na ang canon's 50mm F1.8 naay focusing problem and plasticy. Fourth, the D90 has the LCD status on the top which is very useful jud.

No doubt Canon has the edge in the video aspect. But kung video nalang ang tuyo, palit nalang ug video cam. I really dont believe na makacompete jud ang DSLR with Video sa Video cam. Parehas lang jud na sa Celphone naa 5mp na camera.. It wont compare jud sa 5mp na dedicated cam.. diba, the more expensive the better?? check lang sa prices sa bnew sa duha... you'll wonder why layu ra jud...

I just need to buy a new flash... hehehe tigom jud... hmm... im a newbie ani... i want to join a group na magshoot2x.. naay mga humble peeps diha? hehehe...

im glad you found a cam the works for you

naay specific use ang DSLR's Video...lahi gyud siya gawas kay sa standard video cams...its large sensor allow narrower DOF...same as having the 70-200 2.8 lens, its just different gyud...
compare nimo to any other lenses out there...lahi ra gyud ug gawas...lisod iexplain...but most of the professional videographers i know has a mkII or 7d for this purpose. it allows for greater creative effects.
para nako gamit kaayo since i am now venturing into video productions for broadcasting and having this just puts me at an edge over others who dont have it.

for the flash you have three good options. china, nissin or nikon.
if under 5k imo budget then china flash nalang gyud ka.
if above 7k imo budget then get the nissin.
though ang di866 is 14k from nissin its also comparable to the flagship offer sa originals plus it has some features not found on those.
if you can afford the sb900 go for it syempre
