I'm a Canon man!
What ever you decide to get shop around on the internet first for the best deal. Buy 'body' only as the standard lens will not do what you want to do. Ask the advise of the sales person and I would also call the Canon helpline (find that on their website) tell them what you intend using it for and they will give you proper advise, re lens, also. Then when you have your best prices go to your local dealer, they want your business and should be able to match or get pretty close to the web price's. Better to deal local imo, you can go back for more advice and help
