I would consider the T2i as the best value at the moment, because lately there have been a lot of very good deals on it as it is a discontinued model. It is essentially identical to the T3i, minus the articulated LCD.
Hi - I'm interested in getting my teenage daughter a dslr - budget around $500-$600. Looking at Canon EOS Rebel 2Ti, Rebel T3, Rebel Xs and Nikon D3100... Any suggestions? She is in an Art High School and wants to take the next step in Photography. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Regards!
