I'm about to buy my first DSLR. I don't really have one type of setting I'm looking to capture, but I'd like a setup that would allow me to take the typical portraits, landscape, houses, wildlife, etc.
My choices right now are a Canon T1i and a Nikon 3100
Right now I have a Canon 50mm f1.8 mkI
Config options include:
Go with Canon, keep the 50mm, buy a T1i + 18-55 kit lens and a 55-250mm lens all for around $900 taxes in
Go with Canon, keep the 50mm, buy the Ti1 + 18-55 kit lens for around $675 after taxes & shipping
Go with Nikon, sell the 50mm (~$100), buy the D3100 + 18-55 kit lens for ~$750 after taxes & shipping, net total is $650. For another $250 I could get a 55-200mm lens making the total $900
