Funny, I have been going through something similar the past few days. Someone on another forum offered to sell me just the body of her Canon Rebel xti. I bought a used lens from my local camera store. The lady selling me her camera also sold me her adorable camera bag and is including a free camera strap and a photo card. Everything together from the lens to the camera to the camera bag to the card etc including shipping and insurance was under $400. The camera should be here in a couple of days. I basically made my choices based on finances. This was the only way I could afford an SLR. I'm trusting the lady selling me the camera as she sells her products at a digi scrapping store. Keeping my fingers crossed. I wouldnt do it if she was a complete stranger. I'm totally overwhelmed by everything like you mentioned. I have no idea what I'm doing so I'm off to the library tomorrow. I'd be happy to let you know how I like my camera once I figure out how to use it lol! Lots of luck! I know you will make the right decision. Not to sound silly but have you had a chance to see take photos with each camera? I went to a local store and took some pictures with a DSLR and fell in love with the quality. I fell in love with the look of photos which have a super blurry background which I learned is called shallow depth of field. It is tough to really get that without an SLR. That is what made my decision. Knowing nothing standing in the camera store I was able to take a photo with a wonderfully blurry background. Sold! Best wishes, Roni
