    By the way, you seem to know a good deal about cameras so maybe you can help me out... I was saving up money to buy myself one, since I'm thinking about going into professional photography eventually (in like a year or so), but I'm not sure which camera to buy to start off with. I really like canon cameras though, and was thinking of buying either the Rebel t2i or the 7D. I am aware there's a huge price difference between the two, but from the stuff I've read over the internet, they seem to be pretty similar cameras with only a few things, like the fps, shutter speed, ISO performance, etc. but I was told I should go with the t2i to start off with, and eventually move up.

    What do you think? What would you recommend a beginner like myself to start off with? haha Sorry to bother you with this, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could clarify some stuff for me (if you can)
    I would say get the 60d.

    http://www.amazon.com/Canon-60D-Digi...9829961&sr=1-1

    That's what I got and I LOVE IT. It's significantly better then the t2i and only slightly less of a camera then the 7d, yet only a few hundred more then the rebel. Some would even argue that they like the 60d more because of the flipscreen and audio controls.

    Also, the t2i is a plastic frame (so it feels cheap), has less iso settings and not as good of a white balance system. You can usually find just the body of the 60d are about $1000 or a bit more.

    But the real money pit though is lenses. When you get the camera, they will try to sell you a kit lens, or something slightly better. DON'T DO IT. The best lens to start off with is a 50mm prime lens with a 1.8 fstop. They are amazing and SO CHEAP. $120 is dirt cheap for a lens. They have incredible depth of field and are so good in low light. SO that's my advice. Get the 60d and the 50mm 1.8 Awesome affordable starter kit.
