I had no idea lenses were interchangeable for Canons! Hmm, but, still, lenses aren't cheap and that's something else I need to consider. I may just have to stick to the kit lens until I somehow gain several hundred dollars (ha!).

So with that in mind, do you guys think the Nikon or Canon is better completely *as is* (without a separately bought lens)?

I've been hearing that the Rebel's lens really isn't good and that you're pretty much wasting time until you can buy a better glass lens (major con). I haven't heard much about the Nikon's kit lens, but if the Nikon is better in this respect, then I'm definitely going for Nikon..

Please, more advice!
