I'm going to be traveling quite a bit over the next couple of years and I'm looking into a solid camera to capture some precious life moments and stuff. I have no clue about these things. I was looking into some Canons...but really, I don't have enough experience with cameras to know what's good and what's not. My budget is around $500. Let's find me a camera. Reps will be passed around for suggestions.
I bought the Canon EOS T3i prior to our Africa trip last year. I am quite pleased with it. Sample Pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55439965@N08/sets/72157629614015133/
