Topic: A new camera for general photography and brickfilming.

I was thinking of getting a Canon 550D body and a NIKKOR lens, is this a good idea? If so, what lens should I get? Are there better choices at this price point? What should I look for in a camera? Has anybody got any other recommendations?

Thank you.

So yeah, I'm back from my mind.

I'd suggest getting the T2i with the 18-135mm kit lens. It's fairly basic, but does everything you need to start with. It costs roughly $900 or so, but it's worth every penny.
