Dec 01, 2009 19:54 | #2 Yes, the XS is a good starter and it does have live view so you can use the lcd instead of the viewfinder.

If you like to shoot RAW and tweek image yourself, you probably want to spent a little more for XSi. XS supports RAW format, but at very slow frame rate. If you don't plan to use RAW often, it is very good camera. 5Di, 5Diii, 28, 50, 85, 16-35II, 24-105, 70-200F2.8 IS

Is this a good camera to get for a DSLR starter, but has been with 35mm film for a few years now? http://www.tigerdirect.com …pNo=4352194&Sku=C930-1584 2.On the screen in the back, can I make it so I can look at the screen if I wanted to while taking the picture rather than looking through the eye hole? Thanks -Geese (Yes, I'm back) I suggest you purchase the below Canon XS + Kit lens from Amazon below: Silverfox1 POTN Feedback / TC Extender Tests / Gear List

You can buy it for $195.00 new. I suggest spend an extra $60.00 bucks and get the Canon 55-250mm IS which is considered a nice lens and better then the 75-300mm. Regards & ggod Luck whatever your decision.  Ok. So would the 50mm lens be good for macro pictures?
