Okay girls... question: You have less than $1000 to spend on a camera. It needs to have an automatic setting for someone who isn't totally photo-saavy, but it also needs a manual setting as well.
What would you buy?
(and no, I'm not buying a camera... this post is work-related unfortunately!)
Re: Jlimberg and Blinkinglight
Are you trying to get a body AND a lens for under $1000? Without knowing what the camera would be used for- in regard to suggesting a prime, zoom, or wide-angle lens (that's typically the majority of the cost)...
I am also a Canon girl- I shoot a 5D Mark II- which I'm obsessed with. The Rebel T3i is a good option. 18 MP image sensor, but it's not full-frame. If it were me, and I needed to get a lens too, I'd go with the Canon 60D.
Although, I think Nikon's D90 is another good option- it's basically a mini- D300. It's only 12.3 MP but I've heard it's easier to use than comparable Canons and it's focusing mechanism is more advanced in auto just because it's a Nikon.
Hope any of that made sense.

I just upgraded from a point-and-shoot to the Canon T3i a few weeks ago. Amazon was running a bundle deal, so I got the camera with kit lens plus a 55-250mm zoom lens for under $1000. I haven't had much chance to play around with the manual settings yet- I'm still a photography newbie- but the auto settings were easy to use. I also looked at the Nikon D5000, but the Canon just felt better to me.
