Edit on 1/28.
I am looking into my first DSLR and I think the next 2 are the best to look at. I could use suggestions on lenses and what not. Average amateur photographer usage. Want good balance of options.
I have about $400 in amazon.com gift cards so i need to purchase from there.
Canon XS. $457. 10 MP, Digic III. 18-55 MM f3.5/5.6 IS lens.
$120. Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 (USM - does that mean the same thing as IS)
$215. Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS
Nikon D60. $440 (refurbished) . 10 MP. 8-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens
$156 Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR
Is there a discernible difference between the cameras and lenses. I'm having a hard time coming up with a difference from the review websites.
