The best value in a protection filter is the Hoya 58mm DMC PRO1 Clear Protector Digital Filter. I can't believe that price. I recently purchased a used Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 it came with a Sunpack UV filter, which destroyed the image quality of the lens. I took a couple pictures with no filter, to make sure I was going to keep the lens, then promptly ordered a Hoya Pro1 Clear filter for it. The larger 67mm filter for the Tamron, is 3 times what the 58mm is selling for, but, well worth it. There is NO degradation in image quality using the Hoya Pro1 Clear filter.

EF-S lenses aren't just compatible with the Rebels but are also compatible with all other current Canon dSLRs EXCEPT the 1D and 5D pro lines. You can still upgrade to a semi-pro 50D or near-pro 7D or future equivalent and still keep using all your old EF-S (and EF) lenses. Even if you decide to go pro sometime later on, Canon lenses hold thier value pretty well (more so for the higher end lenses).

Hi Anuj-Every photographer started out not knowing very much so no worries.I think you're really going to want the 18-55mm IS kit lens or similar. This is the lens you'll want to use in a room full of people or to take group shots or photos of wide landscapes or cityscapes. The 55-250mm won't be very useful in a small room, for example. Having both lenses will give you a lot of range so you can shoot everything from large and close things to objects that are farther away.

Hi Technology Guy,I liked you responses to the questions asked by fellow buyers. You may find me moron asking this but I searched quite a bit on google but did not get any definite answer. Could you help me decide if it is wise to buy T3i (600D) with "Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens" and do not buy "EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens"? OR if I need to have both lenses to start with. Thanks in advance.

Michael Milroy's list is very good though you can limit yourself to the first three items - the memory card(s), extra battery and case - for the moment.I think you may be wanting a telephoto lens like the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens (discontinued by manufacturer) very soon. Avoid the cheap Canon 75-300mm.

Thanks for the info on a potential new Canon with autofocus, DigitalHecht. I'll hold off as well to see what comes available. No rush, although I intend to purchase my first SLR in the next few months. The video autofocus is a must for me.

It is compatible with the t2i, and certain controls work over the hot shoe. You can adjust the intensity/exposure setting for example. Other settings must be dialed in via the button pad on the back of the flash. I highly recommend this unit as an alternative to the overpriced official Canon flash.

Do not expect to get anything not in the picture or listed - actually I did not get everything in the picture - still missing one of the UV filters in the listing I got. BE AWARE: If you are going to use the video at all - do not bother with the kit lens or any non-STM lens. They stutter when trying to AF and it's VERY LOUD on the video. Get a package deal with an STM lens instead from the start - I ended up selling my lenses on Ebay and buying the 18-135 STM lens seperately. So stupid! Also, you are likely to get a recalled camera - so expect to be without it for 7-10 days while canon replace the rubber grips - at no cost to you. google the canon T4i recall to check if your camera body is affected - there are ways to see it in the serial number and then go to canon's site to contact them about how to get it fixed. They will send you shipping labels and all, not much hassle, but just so you know.

Once again, THANK YOU Technology Guy for taking the time to answer my questions in such a thorough and informative manner. I really appreciate it. I'm sure I'll enjoy the Rebel Kit as my introductory into digital SLRs, and I'll be sure to stop by the photography forum as you suggested. Thanks again.

they do supply several adaptors & they did fit my Canon 5D & 7D but I don't know about the T2i

When ordering accessories for your camera, I have found that you need to order extra lens that fits onto your main lens. As for Cannon cameras, since I have a very nice one, you must order on Cannon Accessories. Cannon is not universal. I do hope that this information helps.

To Tom Martin or anyone who can help, excluding video, why is the EOS 50D 15.1MP a higher quality than the T1i or T2i?I'm trying to decide between the three and when I look at the list of specs for them, they all seem almost identical from what I can tell. I'm sure I'm missing something. Does the 50D have a more rugged build?Thanks to anyone who contributes an opinion on this.

has this been added to the SX200IS now? I was looking at side by side comparison to the ZS3 and it showed RAW support for the Canon...

I'm using a T2 but according to Canon the T2 and T3 sensors are the same. Limited range, watch out for camera position in the sun as full sun on the cameras sensor seems to further limit the range. Love it just because sometimes there is nobody around to ask to take that picture of your family or group.

Yes! I have a T2i and it fits great. I don't think it ever came as a kit--but it is made to fit the body. It is a little bit heavier than the kit lens that your friend has, but it is much more versatile for, say, vacation photos where you might need a variety of shots in a quick period of time that turn out pretty good. I'm happy with it--a lot of people will get into the technical stuff about it, and they're right, but for your average person on a vacation (for example) looking for a lot of versatility in just one lens, this one is a winner!

I bought a third party accessory kit from a seller here on Amazon shortly after purchasing the Q (I think it was around $20?). It included two extra batteries, a charger (with car adapter) and some other accessories, and the two batteries included in that kit are fantastic. They work just as well as the Pentax brand battery. And you can charge the Pentax battery in the 3rd party charger, which I found particularly useful as the original charging station has a crazy long cord and gets in the way. I'd definitely recommend picking up extra batteries for the Q--as much as I love this camera, she goes through a battery really quickly!!

I have not used it on a T2i, but I use it on a SX50 and it works great and it did list a T2i in the specs back when I got mine, no complaints.

You'll got a lot more answers on the Digital DLR or Photography forums. Anyways, the T1i is fine. You'll need an ultra-wide angle lens like the Canon 10-22mm or equivalent, a sturdy tripod (not the $25 ones) and likely need an external flash like the Canon 430EX.

My first SLR I did buy a bag. Then when I got my D20 I decided that I didn't need to lug all my accessories around with me. I would refer to H. Stevens comments for solutions. What I use now for my Canon is a well made cushioned backpack.
