Great DLSR
I purchased this camera a few years ago, and I love it. I knew nothing about photography, but I wanted to learn to take better pictures. This was a great camera to start with. It has some good presets, but I quickly learned to use some of the manual settings as well. The menu layout is easy to navigate, and gives you quick access to the options you need. The camera body is a good size and weight, and fits well in my hand. The kit lens is decent, but I also bought a zoom lens (150 to 300mm, I think) that I use more often. Neither of these lenses are top-of-the-line, so I'm sure my photos would improve if I invested in better lenses. Nevertheless, these were definitely good enough to get me started, and I've taken some great pictures with them. In addition to taking great quality photos, it takes great videos as well. My boyfriend has the t3i, which offers a few more options for video (adjustable screen so he can see himself when he's on camera), but both cameras take very nice quality video. This is a great DLSR, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested in getting into photography.
