Greetings all. I'm sure a thread like this comes along regularly and I appreciate your patience and help. I am 32 and my wife and I are expecting our first child. We would like to take a photography class before our child arrives and we are looking at purchasing our first real camera beyond a point and shoot. This camera would be primarily used for family photos and video but my wife and I both have an interest in nature and wildlife. Not knowing where to start I consulted consumer reports. Their top recommendation was for the Canon EOS 60D. This is definitely in the upper end of what I'm looking to spend. I signed up for this forum and figured I would consult the experts. What do you guys think of this camera for a beginner with my stated needs? If not this camera what would you recommend and why. Also, whatever camera I get should I go with a kit or should I buy the lens separately? I appreciate any and all responses. Thank you
