Sure I love taking pictures with my iPhone and my little point and shoot. But I need something to keep up with Mr. Devine and the rest of you talented photographers. I'm looking to start small with something that has a great optical zoom. I'm not a big fan of digital zoom. I was thinking about the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Any suggestions for a good starting camera?

Well the Rebel is a good start but remember on those or even a new mirrorless camera you have to buy the optical zoom, and the more money you spend, the better the lens (in general, this is not always the case).
I think the first step for buying a new camera is determining what does your current camera not do or not do well that you want from a future camera. ; Then we can look at alternatives.

Sounds like a great starting place Roger. ;
My tip is to do your research then go to the camera store and actually hold your top contenders. ; You can't get the best out of a camera if the controls are awkward. ; And don't be afraid to buy a good used body. ; You might get more camera for less money. ; Renting is also a good way to research cameras without laying out a lot of money.
