Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imaging with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

If you are looking for a transition from point and shoot cameras to the DSLR world, this is the camera to buy. It is very easy to use and learn. Designed very well and has got all the features of a DSLR.

 PROS: I have to say it's a really nice camera if you know how to use it or starting to learn photography. Easy to function, very nice video mode, and most importantly nice quality photos.

 CONS: I've used the 18-135mm lens often and I have to say it's pretty sweet, though I personally would buy just the body and a separate lens of your choice for whatever purpose. Also the lens barrel moves nice and smooth, maybe a bit too smooth. The lens can't hold it's self if it's held down (also does a bit when tilted)unless you're holding it, for example if you were to place the camera on a tripod to photograph something at 50mm from a direct top view, it will go from 50mm to 135mm. I find it really annoying especially with long exposures.

 So basically it's a really nice camera for those who are new to photography and for those who are deeper into photography should just buy the body and lens separate, in my opinion.
