Canon - EOS 400D/Rebel Xti Digital Camera —
I own this camera and love it! It's easy to use but has many functions on it so you can get some amazing photos. This is 1 of Canon's smaller DSLR cameras. It's lightweight but has a sturdy build. It's not some cheap little camera. The 10.1 megapixels will help if you need to blow the photos up to larger sizes. You can mount any of Canon's lenses on this camera. I just purchased Canon's 70-200 2.8 IS lens and it works great on this camera. This camera isnt a full frame camera and has a crop factor of 1.6. Meaning the sensor in it is smaller then that of a 35mm camera so therefore you'll have to multiply your lenses by 1.6 to get their actual range on this body. For example the Canon 70mm-200mm lens is actually going to range around 112mm-320mm. So you'll actually be able to get closer then what the lens says. You'll be able to shoot at 3 frames per second in rapid burst on this camera which is good for sporting events. 1 of the only drawbacks is that this camera gets pretty grainy on shots where the iso is set at 800-1600. This camera uses the CF (Compact Flash) Cards which can cost a little more then the SD cards that some of the newer DSLR cameras and point and shoot cameras are using. I recommend the additional battery grip for this camera. If you're getting into photography as a serious hobby then I recommend this camera however it's being phased out so most likely you'll have to go with Canon's 450d (Rebel XSi) or Canon's 500d (Rebel T1i). Both of these cameras will be very similar but have a few upgrades.
