I was recommended a 60D, though I don't know abut a beginner camera.

I know little about this stuff, but maybe look at a canon 20D? That's what my dad got as a first camera.

i thought about 800 - 850 max. Dont want to spent like 1000 euro for my first big camera.

Ehm should i buy the camera with a canon objective or get a tamron or what ever ?

800-850 euros is a ridiculously good starting budget, lol.

i'd say nikon d5100+18-55 kit

with the extra money get a 35 1.8 lens which is perhaps a fucking steal for that price.

So i went to a few shops today :D

I could get a D5100 with 18-105 for bout 768 Euro
or a kit with 18-55 + 55-200 mm for bout 898 Euro
or a kit with 18 - 55 + 55-300 mm for 998 Euro

I could get a 600D with 18-55 for 698 Euro
or 18 - 135 for 898 Euro
or a kit with 18-135 + 55 - 250 for 948 Euro

OR I get both via the interwebs....600D + 18 - 200 tamron objective for 730 Euro

Keep in mind that they're all kit lenses. the 55-300 is shit.

I'd go with the 18-135
