I forget the exact steps, but there is some way to search Flickr for all public pictures taken by a certain type of camera. That's been useful in the past for seeing samples. I concur that Dpreview was also a very useful site back in the day. May still be.

The thing I always looked for when looking at sample pictures was how it handled low light situations. If there is a lot of noise. With a full sized sensor, that will be less of a problem, but still something to consider.

Also, the purple fringe you can sometimes get around objects in bright light.

On Flickr? I guess you don't, but people are lazy so most wouldn't bother to photoshop, and if you look at a large enough sample from multiple users, you can learn a lot.

They give the Canon a gold rating.



Seems like that one will be plenty good enough. I found a good bundle deal with 3 lenses on amazon....

You're welcome.

I've spent a lot of time on that site, they're comprehensive, exhaustive. They don't appear to be beholden to a given brand, which I find reassuring. I window shop there all the time.

And free shipping.

When the time comes, remember you can go the clodfobble's site and click on the Amazon link from there.
That way it doesn't cost you any more, she gets credit, and Amazon will send you a naked picture of her.
