Nikon D3000, Canon 1000D, Canon 450D?
What would you choose? I'm buying my first dslr camera but I'm confuse with these three. I wanna know which has the better image quality, user friendly. I'm not gonna print big photos thou. I want quicker to access and functions.
All three are very basic entry level dSLR cameras
All three can produce excellent images.
User friendly? Since dSLR's are fully adjustable cameras and can be controlled by the user, how friendly the camera may be, will depend upon your skills using it.
Once you leave the warm arms of a P&S camera and pick up a dSLR, you will have to depend a lot on your own decisions using the cameras light meter to pick the right shutter speed and aperture to get the correct exposure.
You are going to have to visit a camera store and see which cameras menu is the easiest for you to navigate when making common changes in white balance, ISO, EV and shooting modes.
As fhotoace put it very eloquently, SLRs are very different creatures and unless you're have had experience with film based system cameras you will find the jump to be a little bit of a shock.
If you want a camera that really is quick to use, I'm afraid you're looking at the wrong products, the three cameras you've listed here are all entry level cameras designed to offer the the very basic SLR experience. To say it simple expense has been spared in the ergonomics, to keep the production cost down.
Since you don't plan to make large prints, perhaps something like the Canon 30D or 40D would be more appropriate. They have better AF systems, and have been better designed with the user in mind. The twin wheel/dial + joystick setup of the Canon cameras with programmable keys are very convenient. You could also consider a Nikon D80 which has a similar twin dial interface.
Onto image quality. Well it really has nothing to do with the camera. All the modern sensors are all perfectly competent, and the main difference will be the expertise of the user. It's about picking the right everything, the right exposure setting, the appropriate composition, and the correct lens for the job, just to name a few things.
I would suggest Nikon D3000 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera
* 10.2megapixel CCD sensor
* 11-point autofocus system,
* Fast response, Guide mode,
* 3-inch TFT,
* 3 fps continuous shooting allows you to capture fast-moving action at 3 frames per second
