dslr camera
We are considering getting a dslr camera. N was looking at the Nikon 5100 and the Canon t3i. Does anyone have experience with any of these? Any other dslrs you recommend? Any help is appreciated!
Re: dslr camera
You really can't go wrong with either brand - they are the best out there and will give you the widest options for lenses and growth as you get to know the camera more. Try to get to a place where you can hold both models in your hands and see which feels better. I'm partial to B&H but, Adorama also has an excellent reputation (both in the city).
Remember that the most important part of the camera is the lens so, plan to spend accordingly. The kit lenses that come with bundles are notoriously sub-par and are not meant to last. You are far better off buying just the camera body and getting a good lens with a zoom range to start out. I highly recommend (for either brand camera) the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. It's very sharp, fast and isn't too pricey. I've been shooting with mine for over a year now and love it.
I have owned both Nikon and Canon dSLR's and love both but, am very happy to be a Canon girl now. You do get more features out of the camera and lenses for the price with a Canon.
I don't know anything about the particular Nikon model you are considering but, I will caution you to make sure it doesn't take only AF-S lenses as that will seriously limit your options (it's been an issue with some of their pro-sumer/hobbiest releases lately).

The current consumer report magazine breaks down all cameras with ratings, reviews etc.
(I have become obsessed with this magazine recently, good thing I got a year free:) )

Exellent first lens choice, Kendra :-)
