SLAP's professional opinions, please. I've got an opportunity to get a Canon Rebel T1i with a 18-55mm lens, a 55-250mm, and a55 mm, all for $550. It would be my first camera, and it would just be for general use in travel, indoor, outdoor, whatever. Does this sound like a solid camera for a guy that is basically a beginner behind the lens? After doing research, the deal sounds good and I could probably turn a profit on it if I didn't like it, but I'm looking for something that I'd like to keep for a while. Please, enlighten me.
Edit: Also, I'm looking at a Canon Rebel XSI DSLR with a Tamron AF75-300mm F/4-5.6 LD Macro (1:39) Lens for $500, which is not as good a deal from what I can tell. This all means very little to me, so if someone could explain to me what I'm getting and maybe compare the two cameras, I would really appreciate it.
