I was going to say you should go buy it for a good price for me and I would pay you a little extra but the author deleted it. There is nothing like that around here. In fact a canon 40D is listed for $100 more on Craigslist on average than ebay.

Sorry, I meant that as a joke. I can see how my ignorance in other aspects of photography may not make that seem like a joke.

But it's so much easier to go looking for the body. Moar megapixels = better right? Initially you said, if you have to go zoom, but are there some prime lenses I should be looking into as well?

A lot of body for that, but I'd buy a lens.You mean that's a good price for the body? I'm trying to get an understanding of what a good deal really is. Also its hard to shop for a lens and all the ones you listed come in around $700 You referenced a budget of around $500. Should net you a $700 lens used with a rather old body. True, I cant even find one though selling for that low currently. May be able to nab a 40D with a 50 1.8 II prime for sub $300 with 10 months left on a square trade warranty. The one in NE err East? Just says US

For instance if it was (X+13)/2=21 then X would equal 29

Maybe it was supposed be divided by something.

This is pretty much what I started with after taking the lumber to my boss' house to use his miter and table saw.

New coffee table we built last weekend. Chitty Cell Phone Camera

May have to go in increments. Body with Prime, down the road. Oh we need better glass?!?!

Also, a family friend took Photo's at our wedding with a P&S style camera and we chose some of hers over our photographers because sometimes she just got the better picture.

The wife and I tend to have the opposite problem. At the end of the day... Why didn't we take any pictures?!?

T3 w/ 18-55 $350

40d for $260?

That should be uber cheap. $100 with no lens if that. I'd personally spend more.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-EOS-Digital-Rebel-Digital-Rebel-XTi-400D-10-1-MP-Digital-SLR-Camera-/221245496722?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item3383425d92

5-7 includes flights food and accomadations

What about a cannon 400D?

Okay so 3.4k available for homeymoon..... Have to decide very soon...

The wife and I are both horrible at remembering to take pictures. She wants to get a camera to use for occasions, vacationing, etc. I would assume plenty of landscapes, buildings, pictures of the two do us taken by someone else, etc. Budget... I was thinking 500-600 but she thinks its too much for a camera. She also wants to be able to point and shoot and not worry about all the settings. I want good pictures and would love to play around with it.

Defeats the purpose. Point & shoot or DSLR. Of course the caveat being if you can live with a single prime. Can you go into detail more on living with a single prime? Wife already is balking on the idea because we don't "need" one for what we do. ie, no zoom whatsoverBut do you mean buying a camera that has a non removable prime lense?

Really don't know at this point. Savings was a bit wiped out by everything going on the last few months.
