dslr camera kit deals image

I am saving up for a DSLR camera. I really like the Canon rebel T3i, T4i and the Nikon D5100... which do you recomend? I also wanted to know what lens to get with them? When looking and testing out the cameras in best buy with the kit lense, it was a little fuzzy and buggy in the backround and not as precise as i wanted it. I am thinking about getting the Tamron 17-55mm 2.8 I believe it was.

Canon is best for beginners, and the eos 600d would be my pick at the moment. With this, the best deals would be with the 18-55mm stock lens that's on most websites deals. This lens basically gives you a wide angle view for wide shots, and a bit of zoom (but not much). For a small bit extra, you can replace this lens with a 55-250mm lens, which is the equivalent of 7x zoom on a point and shoot. Basically, the cheaper lens does the wide angle bit, and the more expensive one does the zoom. You can get one which does both, but its more expensive, heavier (a big factor if you carry it around with you) and bulkier

I am looking to replace my point and shoot camera with a DSLR camera. Does anyone have any suggestions to a camera for a beginner? What specs should i look for?
Answer
Any of the entry level DSLRs would keep you happy for a few years. I'd pick either Canon or Nikon. I have a LOT of contact with other photographers and time and time again it seems that either one of those are most likely to make their owners happy.
The most important part is to buy only the best lenses - camera bodies get upgraded, lenses stay with us.
You WILL regret buying cheap lenses.
Don't rush into buying lenses. Start with a kit lens, get to know your camera, that lens, and all photographic principles.
Through time and through use, you will eventually KNOW what other lenses you'll need/want.
The more time you'll take, the less likely you are to regret your choices.
If you know anyone close to you with a camera, consider borrowing lenses and "picking their brain" about their camera and whatever else they know.
Go to a store and hold a few cameras, see how they feel to YOU.
Do lots of research before you buy, and start learning about photography, too.
Keep in mind that buying a DSLR isn't cheap, even if you find a good deal for body and kit lens.
You'll also want and/or need a few other things such as tripod, filters, a bag, sensor cleaning gear, a second battery, memory cards, perhaps a remote shutter release etc.
That's just the small stuff - I can guarantee you that you'll also want more and more lenses.
You'll also want a decent flash some day.
See how that list just goes on and on?
Owning a DSLR isn't cheap - at least not until you have built up a nice stash of gear.
Just some food for thought........
