I should note that I'm mostly buying for my wife's use, as I won't have time to get into photography anytime soon. She and I went to Allen's here in Orem and used some cameras there, and we went with a Canon T3i with a 18-135 lens. It comes with a basic lens hood, has a lot of the features she'll likely get into in our family events and had a good price.
I'm tempted to get into it myself, but I have to focus on more technical learnings for the moment. Thanks again for all the info. She's pouring through a lot of it today, actually. -Tod Hansmann /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
