Decided to kick in a bit more cash for a better cam..

Now im thinking about the 1100D - 500D - 550D - 600D..

Selection is due to the pricerange of these.. I can get the 500D for the same price as the 1100D.. and if I kick in like 100euros more I can get the 550D / almost the 600D..

Any opinions/preferences?

Since its my first DSLR I would really like some good advice.. Also open for other suggestions.. Dno rly why ive only been looking at canon

Why get such expensive equipment if you only need it to shoot your vacations?

Some people cherish memories and having them in good quality. Thats the main reason I got all my stuff, and 90% of my photos are pretty much snapshots.

Sat down.

Due to popular demand: I agree with verdena. Corner store printing =/= high quality.

tbh I dont rly know what else to spend my money on :S saving is rly not my style..

+

actually thinking about taking photography up as a hobby.. been looking for something to get into...

Ok I narrowed it down to this..

Nikon D3100 because of its price + specifications... Its around 100$ LESS than the 500D and 300$ Less than the 550D...

Any last opinions please?
