Anyone have used Canon T5 or Nikon 3300 or higher? My daughter needs for photography class for 6 weeks. Would rather rent than buy and sell back.

Should I return the rebel t5i via Amex return protection, and get the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 DSLR deal on the Main site instead ?
Is the t5i itself a better camera ?

No. Camera is not as good, and the 75-300 is a lousy lens.

I'm not saying that's not a good deal. But not better than your T5i.

75-300 is a lousy lens.

But it's better than no telephoto lens like the last T5i deal

But it's better than no telephoto lens like the last T5i deal

Absolutely, that's why it's still a good deal.

I got my t5i from the DDMS deal in September from eBay. If I only have whatever that camera came with then this would be a better deal ?

You have a significantly better camera. Would you want to change that for a pretty terrible lens?

[coralsnake]

Can you upgrade the lens on today's DDMS one?

Pretend for a second that I don't know what a telephoto lens is, and explain for everyone else what that means

+1 I don't know what a telephoto lens is either. Hence the confusion.

Canon EOS Rebel T5i 700D Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm EF-S IS STM Lens. This is what I have.

It allows you to shoot items that are further away.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the camera you just posted comes with the telephoto lens plus many more additional accessories, then what I got with my rebel t5i. But the t5i is an overall Better camera and lens.

AFAIK the SL1 comes with the same lens the T5i came with, but you also get the telephoto lens and other accessories with the SL1, though it's just not as good of a camera according to SF (Amazon reviews for SL1 are slightly better than T5i, but those aren't reviews from pros).

[yelped]

Does anyone know of a good deal for a cheap point and shoot? I need two of them for a school.

Correct on all counts.

Keep your eye on the Canon refurb store. Decent cameras could often be had for as little as $40.
