The newest rebel on the block. I hate to admit this, but I am a HUGE fan of this little camera. If you are a pure beginner, this is the camera I would recommend if you can afford it. With 9 Cross Focus types (8 more than the 5Dii), touch screen interface, articulating monitor, rich video shooting features, there is something for everyone here. Not as affordable as the Nikon D3200, but absolutely well worth it. Highly recommended. (note: I have lens recommendations for beginners in another section.)
