TPF Noob!
I've never used an SLR camera before but I'm at the point where I'm very much ready to move beyond using a point and shoot camera... so, I'd like to purchase my first digital SLR... probably the Canon Digital Rebel.
Now, I'm lost as to where to start when considering where to buy the camera... a few friends have recommended Ebay, and frankly, the deals are quite good, but I'm a bit apprehensive...
Some of the auctions have nifty packages ranging from 1200$ Canadian to 1500$ (and when you include everything in there, it's much cheaper than buying each piece individually... camera, memory card, card reader, camera bag, etc).
Has anyone purchased a bundle from Ebay and if so, do you recommend a specific seller or group (I've noticed many of the sellers are actual auction stores)??
If this isn't recommended, what's the best place to buy equipment in Canada? (I'm located in northern ontario, so I'd probably be best to order from somewhere as there's not much locally).
Thanks!
