> Hey Marcus,
> 
> Check out my pics **[www.sonikphoto.com](http://www.sonikphoto.com)** Most of those were taken with a Canon Rebel XT with various lenses. The XT is a great camera.
> 
> Don’t expect to shoot amazing pictures on the first day that you get the camera. It takes practice, time, and money. Why money? Because lenses are expensive!
> 
> _Lenses i used to take the pics in the gallery…_  
> 18-55mm Canon (came with the camera)  
> 35-350mm Canon L (highly recommended)  
> 50mm F1.8 Canon (a must have)  
> 70-300mm Sigma (cheaper zoon alternative, very good tho!)  
> 50-500mm Sigma (don’t like it that much, good zoon for cheap)  
> 100mm Canon Macro lens (a must have)
> 
> If you have the money to spend, buy a Canon camera, with Canon USM, or L series lenses.
> 
> Here are some of my pics…look at the site, there are much much more!!
> 
> go to [www.dpreview.com](http://www.dpreview.com) to read reviews about the cameras…  
> [http://www.pbase.com/cameras/canon](http://www.pbase.com/cameras/canon) to see what each lens and camera is capable off…scroll down to the desire lens, then look at the pics that were taken with that specific lens.  
> Your best bet to buy a camera is at a local Best Buy Store. Get it there, buy the 4 year warranty ($100). If you camera breaks, you go there you complain and get a new one, no questions asked, or they repair it if its minor problem.
> 
> If you have more questions, let me know. Or if you want to meet up or something you can take a look at my camera and lenses and see for yourself.
> 
> **OR if you want a point and shoot…**  
> I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CANON POWERSHOT PRO1!!!
