My wife's birthday is Wednesday. I've had a passive interest in photography since high school but never enough to save for a camera. My wife too is similar. So I've been noodling a canon rebel t3i or better for a while now.
So today I'm in Best Buy and decide to look at cameras. Mistake. They had a deal on a T5 that included a 18-55 lens and a 55-250 lens, tripod and bag for $600. Ended today. Pretty much an impulse buy so I'm not even sure what I bought. Going to learn about stuff quickly. Figured t3is still go for $350-$400 on c-list, the zoom lens was a $250 lens new and this way I get a newer (hopefully better) camera plus a couple gizmos for basically what that would cost to piece together. Plus one year warranty.
Y'all please tell me if I made a mistake. It was more than I really wanted to spend, but oh well.
Next will be to look for a nice portrait lens for my wife to take pics of our daughter. Recommendations?
