| hello there. i want some advice as i am going to buy my first dslr. i would go either of the canon digital rebel xt or xti. i am planning to buy either with 1or 2 lenses. my photography will include normal indoor, outdoor telephoto of animals and birds, low light conditions in short zoom ranges, some wedding and some portraits. now problem is that i have to buy the camera body and lenses(if more than 1 is needed) without other accessories within $700 (without shipping). i seek ur valuable advice for the best combinations.any sample photo or link to the sample will be appreciated. |

| Well you can save some money by buying the 350D and choose the lens lengths you need for your style and subjects you shoot.I am sure you know what focal lengths you need because you are already shooting weddings and only have to calculate the 1.6x magnification factor. And I will assume you will be using the Canon lenses you already have from your Canon 35mm SLR.Don't be afraid to buy used lenses; both Nikon and Canon make lenses that work for decades. |

| On your budget you can afford a used XT, used 18-55 kit kens and used Canon 75-300.Try the big camera retailers...they should be able to fix you up.HTH. |

| I am not sure that you can get everything you want for US$700, even if you buy used, especially for the animals and birds and low light. I bought a used 350D (with software and cables but no CF card) and a used Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (good for low-light conditions indoors and for portraits) for about $700. This won't work particularly well for your animals and birds, but hobbyist grade telephotos can be had fairly cheap. The body with the18-55mm f/3.5-4.5 "kit" lens should take care of your wideangle needs until you can afford something better.You can expect a truly good long telephoto to fit your 350D or 400D to cost you at least $700 all by itself. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace

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...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
