Camera Advice Needed
Hello! I never post here but now that my little cousin wants to get into photography, I figured this would be the best place to ask.
As I said, he wants to get into photography. Lately he's been reading up about taking good pictures and such and snapping some photos with his sister's camera. He wants a nice camera for himself and was looking at the XT. Would this be a suitable camera for a beginner? And would $469 be a good price for such a camera?
Thanks in advance!

xt, xti, xsi are gonna be canons "amateur" cameras. all are good to begin with depending on the budget. nothing beats a photography class if hes into it.
just buying a used camera can be just as good for him since he is starting to learn how to use it. photography isnt a cheap hobby

the Rebel series are great for someone looking to get into the dSLR hobby. you're better off spending the cash saved on buying a rebel on lenses and photography class than the higher priced dSLR models.

i have a 400D xti and i love it! i've played around with my cousin's 30D and the picture quality seems okay compared to the 30D (in my amateur eyes that is)
