CrushedWill posted:While I posted this question in the Canon thread, I feel like this thread may be a better (but not perfect) target for the query, so here it goes. Get a refurb from Canon. You get either a barely used body or it's pretty much new but the box was damaged and was sent back. Basically new and a 90 day warranty. There's a refurb sale going on now with 20% off: http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/subCategory_10051_10051_-1_22751

I know canon has some 20% off refurb sales which are excellent. Most things are there because the box was damaged and no one wanted to buy it so essentially it's a new camera. The sales come every few months. Keep an eye on slickdeals.

Those are decent starter bodies. The kit lens will work fine on sunny days since you don't need a super wide aperture in those conditions. When indoors or evening/night you'll need something with a wider aperture. So either start off with a better lens (a common recommendation is the Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 without VC which is anywhere from 300 to 500 USD) or get the kit lens to learn and then sell it for something better. Also get a 50mm f/1.8 or 35mm f/1.8 for Nikon since the Nikon 50mm doesn't autofocus with the newer cheaper bodies. That'll cost you about 100 USD and it has great image quality with a really wide aperture (which will give you a lot of blurry backgrounds which look nice).
