    Default Canon DSLR

    Been several years since I've messed with cameras, but what is a good entry level model. Maybe just a basic kit to start out and add more lenses later. Family photos, landscapes, wildlife, etc.


    Thanks

    Looking at the T3i and the T5i right now, willing to spend ~$750 for a good set up that'll last for many years to come.

    If there are other models that would fit the bill, I'd be willing to look into them as well.

    Are you looking for new, or are you willing to buy refurb or used? If you stay on the Fred Miranda forums long enough, I've seen a T3i body for around $300, and 70-200 F4 for around $500.

    Go with a used 50d/60d and then buy a 70-300mm lens, along with the 18-55 that would come with it. Imo.

    The xxD bodies have a better build and internals vs Txi.

    I was going to mention this as well, but they don't have as many "dummy" settings.


    I can't remember if the 50/60D offer video, I know my 40D doesn't.

    The 70D has video. I need to get you to show me how to take some good pics with it.

    I think both do. I know the 50d does.

    I've got a T3i too. Not fantastic, but I like it ok. I'd rather have my old 40d back. But it's better to buy a lesser body like a T3i and have nicer glass than the opposite.

    I have been more than impressed with my Nikon.
