For all-around general purposes. My experience with photography is non sophisticated shooting on an older panasonic lumix Z30 with a fixed lens and the camera on my phone. Lets exclude flashers, remotes, lighting equipment out of the budget. I've heard it wiser to resist the vanity of a high level model camera and go with something more modest and splurge on lenses. I intend to buy most if not all equipment used. There is a T2i at the thrift store down the street for $400. I wonder....get that and use the rest on lenses (no idea what lenses to get as a good base) or aim higher for the camera. I don't know what to expect as far as disappointing lack of features. I would hope anything I get shoots great in low light or nighttime. Snaps quickly. A full range of settings to adjust picture quality. Is compatible with common quality lenses so I never feel I have to upgrade because a lens I want doesn't fit on my camera. A canon, because of the possibility of sharing equipment or collaborating with friends (who all have canons). I want the ability to shoot near and far. Thats about it Help me out guys, thanks!
