I'm thinking about a Canon SLR for Christmas - any suggestions? Looking at SLR's sub $800.

Thanks!

Agreed, Jason, if you want you are more than welcome to come over and check out the Nikon D40 I got for my birthday

I love Nikons but my dad bought a Sony SLR because (at least at the time) it was the only one that you could look at the screen and see what you were photographing before you snapped it while with other SLR's you have to look through the eye piece to snap it and then you review it on the screen.

Did you decide on the camera ? I'm looking too, I like my Cannon SD1000 but I want to do more than the point and shoot is capable of doing.

I've always used Canon digital cameras and found they are extremely easy to use and are of exceptional quality. If I were to be in the market for an SLR I'd consider this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Digital-...dp/B0012YA85A/

priced well and it includes the lens (some SLRs do not and the lens could be more expensive than the camera itself) plus a lot of good reviews. Most of the Nikons are over $800.

That's a great deal on the Canon

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XSi 12.2 Mpixel.

Great camera.

I ended buying a macro lens for it also.

That was the one I thought I was getting when I went to the store, It's a GREAT camera !!!!!

Do you have a wide angle lens ? I'm thinking it would be good for the car shows. Any thoughts ?

Yeah I have a telephoto 250mm lens, a standard 55mm-100mm lens and a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. Its really a whole new world once you purchase a SLR.
