Fire Away
I've been looking at DSLR cameras and I was wondering what some other people thought of this camera. If I wanted a better macro or wide lens, would they be easy to purchase and use? What would be a good size of memory for this? This price range is good. What else do you think?

Answer
That is a good camera, yes. That lens isn't a really good lens, but it will be fine in a lot of light. This isn't a fast lens, so you wouldn't take it to concerts, or use it for sunsets hand-held. Yes, macro lenses for your camera are easy to find, but expensive. You will have to save up a few hundred for a good one. That is a good camera. The kit lens is a good lens too, and it facilitates Image Stabilization.
That is a good price.

Does anyone have a Canon Digital Reval XT camera?

I want to buy a nice digital camera before my baby is born, and was wondering what you like and dislike about it. And if it takes good and professional looking pictures (especially of people)
Thanks

Or - get a Nikon D40. The mode dial even offers a "Child" mode. They say, "Use for snapshots of children. Clothing and background details are vividly rendered while skin tones are given a soft natural finish. The camera [automatically] selects the focus area containing the closest subject."

You can get the D40 with the 18-55 kit lens at B&H Photo (available through Yahoo! Shopping or at 1-800-622-4987) for $550 (May 2007) and this is with TWO Lexar 1 GB cards. You can get the same kit with one Lexar Platinum (higher speed) card for $560.
If you are going to go with Canon, I will agree with KoKo and say that you ought to get the Rebel XTi, as long as you are taking the plunge. The XT with the "standard" 18-55 lens and a 2 GB memory card will cost you $630 and the XTi set up the same way will cost you $790.
Gee. The D40 doesn't look so bad next to those prices, does it? (haha)
