Thank you both so much!! I currently have the Olympus EPL-5, but i've never been happy with it. I don't have a video cam-corder (dropped it and cracked the glass lens at the Wilderness Lodge 2 summers ago and never replaced it).
I'm pretty much a person who keeps it on Auto (i'm definately not as advanced as you guys!)
I'm thinking of getting the Canon Rebel T6i
I want something with vibrant colors and is fast - I hate shutter lag! And will take good pictures on auto. And also takes nice video. Does the T6i sound like a good match for me?
Thanks so much for any feedback/advice,
Marina
The T6i would be fine - The stock lens on that is decent but if you want the best photos you'll want to invest in a good lens like the EF-S 17-55 F2.8 which has IS (image stabilization) AND is a fast lens so you can grab quick shots *and* low-light shots (like dark ride ones!) If you can find a used/refurbished T4i or T5i and put the savings towards that lens you'll get some stunning results. Don't get me wrong, you'll get good results with the T6i and the stock lens too (including dark ride ones) but you'll have better flexibility with the other lens!
