Is the Canon Rebel XTi a Good Choice for someone who has never used a digital SLR?
I have never used a digital SLR before, but I am very impressed with Canon's powershot handheld cameras. Would the rebel XTi be a good choice for me? Also, what lenses would be good for portrait and nature pictures?
The Xti will be great. All SLRs these days have full auto modes so you don't need to learn all about manual controls right away.
As for lenses I'd get a camera with the kit lens. It's 18-55mm so it'll be good for scenic stuff as well as portraits. If you want to have major background blur on your portraits you should get the 50mm f/1.8 ($100).
If by nature photos you mean photos of birds and other animals you'll need a telephoto lens. These are lenses with a focal length measured in the hundreds. The 75-300mm is Canon's cheapest telephoto but it's also pretty crappy. I wouldn't pay the $300 they ask for it in stores but you can find it used for $100. Your next option is the 100-300mm. It`s hard to find new but you can sometimes get it used for $250. Your third (and best) option is the 70-300mm but it`ll cost you around $500.
