Hey Everyone!
I'm going to be getting a new camera very soon and I'm new to this photography thing ... I want to do photos up here where I live in Washington State & don't know what to get ... I was thinking Canon XS / XSI ... Possibly T1-I ... I was also thinking of getting a 55-250 lens too ... Especially for the photos I take at Sea Tac as 16R is far away from the spotting point, What suggestions do you all have for what I should get?
