Need advice on a new camera
Looking for a camera that will be a good choice for...

Blog photos, mostly table top.

Short instructional videos, about 2-3 minutes in length

Possible CMYK litho use, i.e., packaging.

I have two Canon EF zoom lenses, about 13 years old, that I used with an Elan II, same vintage. I'd love to be able to use one or both of them with the new camera.

I'm looking at the Canon EOS Rebel T2i, either body only or with the EF-S/18-55 kit. Sale price of $605.00.

Anybody have one of these? Comments from the experts?

Many thanks...

1. with an adaptor, those lenses will work on any camera.
You might lose the auto functions. The T2i is an excellent camera.

2. So where are you leaning?
The T2i will make a fine camera. Get the kit for $605.

3. I'll get it if...
my S.O. lands a big gig -- it'll pay for the camera.

Thanks for the help!
