thank you sooooooooooooooooo much guys


i'll be getting my cam in 3 or 4 days time... and from wat u ppl have suggested i've decided to go for a 550D .


but then here is my situation, if i get a 550D i cant ask my dad for a lens (coz i feel bad askin him for money) atleast for the next 2 yrs , ie till i complete college. 2 yrs is a really long time and im pretty sure both 1000D n 550D will be outdated by then. so here are my options


1. 1000D(comes with an 18-55) + EF 50mm f/1.4


2. 550D (with an 18-55)


both these options cost the same, but about the other paramaters im totally clueless, if i go by lens then option one seems good, coz if 550D becomes outdated in two yrs, ther is no point in buying a new lens ( correct me if im wrong).


arrrrrghhhhhhhh im so confused again
