I have the
Canon sx150is ... I bought it last year just before the birth of my daughter, and I have been VERY happy with the purchase ....
What I really love about this kit, is you can set it full automatic, or you can set it on full manual, or anywhere in between ... it's up to you!
I also own a Rebel T3i, but wanted something a little more user-friendly for capturing those spur of the moment "baby milestones", and I have to admit, that this camera's images easily rival the Rebel - a camera that I paid almost 5 times as much for!
The only caveat with the sx150is is that it uses AA batteries ... with duracells you will get about 40-60 flashes, or 150 non-flash pics, but I went and bought a set of 4 Energizer NiMH Rechargeables, and with a full charged pair, and another in my pocket, I can shoot all afternoon (and then some) ...
And the 720p HD video quality is breathtaking for an entry level camera ...
I paid $120 shipping included (NEW sealed box) on eBay!
