Hey guys,
I've always been interested in photography and whatnot and i love taking portraits, landscapes, and macros (flowers/close-ups etc). I noticed that canon is having a rebate deal starting on the 18th so I would like to finally pick up a DSLR. I love photography but I am no means a professional.
I was wondering if the 40d will be too much for me. If it is do you guys think the rebel xsi or the nikon d80 would be better. Also I will need a lot of help picking lens. I want to be able to have 2 lens for everything and obviously the cheaper the better but I wouldn't want to skip on quality because of cost.
Thanks guys so much in advance.
