Arrggghh. Pissed I missed out on this trip. Yo that fifty did good work b.
 
Just wanted to say thanks for the OP. In the market for my first DSLR and the links are very helpful. I'll be back once I narrow down my options and ask for advice.

I'm probably going to buy from amazon...
t2i or t1i? basically, is the t2i worth the extra money?
Buy with packaged lens or body only?
If body only, what's a good lens to buy with one of these cameras?

Thanks.
 
HankMoody:
i suggest a t2i body only and the 'nifty fifty' 50mm f1.8ii
what the t2i has that t1i doesn't = faster frames per second for pics and video, external mic port for vid, and more resolution(more megapixels). i may have missed other things too

good comparison/reviews: t2i vs t3i vs 60d vs 7d and 50mm f1.8ii

pics over the weekend...

Way we did it was to get it as much variation as possible while shooting, then using CS5 to really make the subject stand out. I'll pm you more detailed info
 
So, I think I am going to hop on this amazon nikon deal for the D3100. I just need some input on which lens to add or if I should even take advantage of this deal...

[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens 
by Nikon 
[table][tr][td]Price:[/td][td]$649.00[/td][/tr][/table] body only is $549.00

[/td][/tr][/table]
[/font]$100 off Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens. Enter code ESZBSIIK at checkout. (98.11 after this discount)
$100 off Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens. Enter code ZRB9VW8Y at checkout. (79.95 after this discount)

I have read that the 
[h1]Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras[/h1]
is popular too ($134)

So, my options are the D3100 kit lens package for 649.00 plus one of the aforementioned lenses which would be ~750 or I could buy the D3100 body only for 549.00 and just buy the popuar lens mentioned above and my total would be ~685 or I could just get D3100 package for 649.00 and be okay for now...

Thoughts?
