I only get that when using matrix metering in low light.. would like to have it fixed tho :/

You actually need an action / preset to fix it quickly. There's no way of doing it in-camera. The lower-end lenses are especially bad.

Everything I read says that the t2i/t3i have way lower image quality than the nikon comparable.

Do you have any photo examples of this?

I have yet to have problem with orange skin tones

And by the way, my main source of income is graphic design, not doing portrait photography. So if I have to remove orange skin tones in the very few pictures of people that I take, that's ok with me as long as I'm getting the highest quality image.

You have yet to take photos of people, then.

Seriously though, do you have any comments on the image quality or any example pictures of the aforementioned skin tone problem?

just went to family reunion lol over 300 photos of people, although not much indoor. so maybe that's where i start to see it?

everyone was requesting me to do photos on the beach




What are you designing for? What type of company? Are you plan on blowing these up to billboard size? what is the exact use. Any dslr will pretty much be sufficient for what means you seem to be inquiring about. I'd be asking more about which lens is for what scenerio, and what you can do to get the best photos, or else no matter what camera you buy you're not going to get the results of what you think you're going to get.

Also, what is your experience with lighting, cameras etc etc.

I've photographed some of my portfolio pieces (cd cover, bottle design, posters) with my old schools dslr and I used their lighting equipment. So all in all, not much experience.

I have very little knowledge about lens technology also, so if anyone has any "guides" or advice I'd love to hear it.

My goal is to take my own stock photography primarily for work which will more than likely consist of lots of close-ups. For personal use, I'd really like to study HDR photography. I'd say everything will stay under typical movie poster size as of right now (18x22). The stock photography will be used for a lot of photo manipulations in various magazine ads and internet uses.
