| This will be my first SLR camera- though I've test drove my friend's XT. I liked it a lot, so I'm sure I'll love the XTi and XSi.I want it to last me years without getting too out-of-date, which is why I'm leaning towards the XSi. I've also heard it's a rather big improvement over the XTi (as far as replacements go) and comes with a great lens. Then again, I enjoy taking photos of everything- landscapes, people, events, pets, macro so lenses will be definitely important. I've heard good reviews (so far!) about the XSi, and I don't mind dishing an extra $300 to get a better camera body, but I don't want to regret that I hadn't spent it on lenses..P.S. Pixels don't matter to me; I won't need to print THAT big! |

| If you would rather put it to lenses, get the XTi. I own one, and I print 8 x10's just fine and I'm sure you wont need any bigger than that. It's a great camera though. |

| then you should get the xsi. i think that's the better deal. it will last longer without getting out of date. it's much better camera too. |

| Cameras are constantly getting better. Someday there will be a better camera that you want. I suggest you get the XTi instead. Get to know the camera and decide on what you like to photograph (portraits, landscape, etc.), then use the extra money you saved towards a proper lens.Quote from an article I found online:Ultimately the new 450D / XSi has some really nice features, but the 400D / XTi remains a great choice and a decent entry-level DSLR – and existing owners wanting to upgrade should be looking beyond to the EOS 40D for noticeable differences.Read the rest here: http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_EOS_450D_Digital_Rebel_XSi/verdict.shtml |

the xsi is obviously the upgrade verison- but i have the xti and love it. as far as lenses go- any stock lens (the regular 18-35mm) is going to be the same. they are your basic canon 18-35mm lens. the lens isn't made specific to the body. and if you are into taking pictures other than just for lesiure- you are going to want to sink any extra money into getting a lens with a greater range. try a telephoto lens- it has the greatest range for distances and portraits- if you are more into landscape pictures you might want to think about a wide angle lens. basically- if you want to take your photography anywhere, you are going to need more than the stock lens. the xti has been on top for awhile- it's a good camera and very user friendly. i would spend the extra cash on an extra lens. hope that helps  |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
