...Or if you want to crop and still have usable images.

Marianne, here's a package she should be really happy with:

Rebel XSi (body only)

EF 50mm f/1.8 lens (Nifty Fifty)

So she can still use the lenses from her 35mm Rebel?

This is the one I am looking at...http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Digital-...ref=pd_sim_e_2

Trying to keep it under 500, but if the lens is a piece of crap and she can use the canon lenses I bought for her a couple of years ago, I might go for just the body on the 12. What do you think?

Nothing at all wrong with that camera! You might want to check on Ebay as well. You CAN get some good deals there!

That's what I had last year. The lens is good for everyday stuff. It's not the best at it's widest or zoomed all the way in; but it was never bad enough to get me to spring for another lens. I snapped some really nice shots with that lens ... and the bad ones were mostly "user error."
