Hey all, I'm in the market for a newbie DSLR Camera. I am a complete newbie at photography and have only used point and shoot type pocket cameras up till now.
I want to use the camera for hiking, climbing and general mountains shots. Like Cowperson, I also have a golden retriever (also, curiously named Abbey) that I like to photograph as well. Similarly, I like to travel and my next two primary destinations will hopefully be Patagonia and the Himalayas.
I have been looking at a simple
Canon Rebel XSi but I'm open to all suggestions. Things to note are that I honestly know next to nothing about photography at the moment and money
is an object. I don't want to spend so much on a camera/lens/accessories that I can't afford to go on vacation.
Thanks in advance.
