It's Time...

I think it's time. Time to buy a for-reals, non iPhone camera. It's time to invest in a digital slr camera. But, this is such a big investment (lets be real, for me anything more than $100 is a big investment)! I want to know what other people/bloggers are using/ love.
I've currently got my eyes set on this Canon Rebel T3i 600D camera:


$900 is my cap.. geez, I mean, I never though I would even spend that much on a camera. I guess I've still got a bit of sticker shock going on. I think it will be a worthy investment though, seeing as my picture taking numbers have been increasing exponentially lately. Anyways, what are you using? What beginner-ish digital slr would you recommend? Thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

  1. My friend who is in film/photography recommends not buying a rebel (he says they are over-priced) and instead getting the body of a cheaper Canon and then investing that extra money in the lens which is your real shot-maker, anyway. To be honest, though, I know more people that lean toward Nikon than Canon. I'm sure others disagree.

    1. thanks for the feedback! At first, getting a cheaper canon, was exactly what I was thinking, but I really want things like wireless flash and just feel like if i'm going to make this large of an investment, I should just get the best that is on the market. I am only looking at used rebels to save a few bucks though. And I have been looking at the nikon d5100. I really like that one too, but it just has this look of being less well made. It is lighter though... haha I'm still feeling so indecisive!

  2. I wish I could help you, but I still use a plain old digital. I want an slr more than anything though. You'll have to let us know which one you choose, good luck!

    1. I will, thanks! yeah, my iPhone camera just doesn't seem to be cutting it anymore and my current digital is about 6 years old. I figured if I was going to spend a few 100 bucks on a new digital, I should just really upgrade to a beginner digital slr.
