My friend is bying a camra, any suggestions which camra should he buy, he is new to "technology" and needs suggestions, he wanted a removable lense camra (the big black heavy one) but he didn't want it to be really heavy, please give him some advice!

The Canon EOS camera series are good. And if he wants one that isn't too heavy, he should go fro the XSi, XTi, or XT: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...categoryid=111 I have the 30D, and it can get pretty heavy at times, all depending on what lense you have on it of course.

Both the rebel xt and the xti are light in comparison with most dslr cameras. I would have to vote for one of the 2 as well. I also shoot with a 30d w/ the grip and it's not light.

There is also the Nikon D40, but I don't like that there isn't an autofocus motor in the body, it limits the amount of Nikon F mount lenses you can use.

Personally, I would go for the XT / XTi / or wait for the XSi. I shoot with a 40D and grip, not a light camera, but it fits my hands much better than the Rebel series.

Nikon D40
Canon XT XTI XSI

Those are all really small. Just pick whick system has the lenses you'll eventually want and then start buying.
