Still in the researching stage of my leap into the world of DSLR.
I think I am decided on Canon. I have a budget of less than $1000. I am a newby to what I need and will like & will be using auto mode a lot until I gain confidence!
I have no idea what lenses would be best for my needs/ likes, but will mostly be taking pictures of my kids plus maybe some landscapes. I would love to play around with lighting esp. sunsets etc. which is something I certainly can't do with my point & shoot.
Undecided if it's worth getting a single or twin lens kit or maybe single lens plus a 50mm f/1.8 lens for portraits?
Would love any thoughts especially on the Canon eos 1100d as it 'sounds' good.
Thanks
