I finally went ahead and ordered a Cannon Rebel XSI 12mp DSLR from cameta.com. I paid $650 for the camera, lense, and all the other basic accessories it came with. The only thing I had to go out and get was, an 8g memory card and a small camera bag to keep everything together. This camera is like night and day compared to anything I ever used. I didn't get to play around with it to much yet, but the quality of the pictures are incredible, compared to what im used to using. The more I use it, the more I like it.
Heres a the first few pictures I toke, just getting the feel of it.
