A relatively low-cost Canon with really fantastic picture quality
When buying a DSLR, the lenses matter much more than the camera body- and will probably cost you much more as well. These lenses will lock you into a system — either the Canon, Nikon, or Sony system likely. Consider what cameras your family and friends are using and who you could potentially be sharing lenses with. Lenses generally cost $[...] to $[...], so it’s a big deal. Photography is a budgeting game.
