clownfish1124 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Oh. I honestly think that is a total pain, so I am gonna get whatever I can get cheaper. If I were to go with an xti, then I would get the 400 dollar kit from adorama (without mack warrantee) but if I go with the xs, it would be a cameta kit for I think $50 more. Both are factoy refurbs with 90 day warantees. Link to comment

Withers Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Live view is basically pointless for a DSLR, I don't know of anyone that uses it (except SDT, lol). Link to comment

Urchinhead Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Clownfish- Unless I missed it reading this thread you need to consider the following when picking a camera... What feels most comfortable in your hand. For me and my bear paw hands the Cannon fits better so I will be buying it. Specifically the Xsi. Don't buy a kit. Buy the body and then buy the lenses and other accessories (think tripod etc) that fit the needs of the type of photo you plan to take. If all you are doing is taking coral shots then get the body and a macro lens etc. That money you spend on the 'kit' lens only to have it sit in the bag would be better used on what you will use.

Withers Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 To be fair, the kit lens has much more utility than a macro lens would. They're usually decent beginner's lenses that would also take macro shots. Plus they're great if you're photographing some place and you don't want to risk damaging a good lens Link to comment
clownfish1124 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks urchinhead! Right now I don't want to buy an expensive macro as a beginner. I will probably just get the kit and a memory card and a bag. I am gonna get a vertical battery and or flash as my first upgrades. Then I am gonna save for a really good macro. Link to comment
