I know I'm posting a bit early, but for Christmas this year I want to upgrade to a DSLR. I have a EOS 650 and would like to stick with Canon as I have the 50mm 1.8 lens, plus, if the DSLR's are anything like the 650 I know my way around the camera.
I'm looking at the rebel XTi, but am open to others as well. I don't want to spend more than $700 and am open to kits as well for a cheap zoom lens. The type of photography I do in on my Flickr site (which is in my sig), but would like to get into just about anything, but I don't want to drop like 500+ on a lens just yet, I think a kit lens plus the 50mm will be just fine. Any Canon DSLR suggestions welcome and if you could, could you post why you would suggest one over the other? I've read a few threads and a few questions have been answered. I heard that dust is an issue with the XTi's and I read a lot of negative reviews on Amazon.com about underexposed shots, but maybe thats a metering issue? Oh and my birthday is coming up and maybe I can get a flash? What is good. I know it'll probably be a speedlite, but I don't know which one....
