I have been looking at costco the last few weeks and think that the canon rebel t5 is about my skill level I am not a pro like jerry I just need something that is easy to use. I have an olympus 4000 4 pix that I bought about 20 yrs ago and had so much trouble trying to use it I just put it on the on the shelf and now I find out there are now more chips for this camera. So I think this camera will do a good job it is an 18 pixtel my old olympus is a 4 pix, Any one want to buy a camera CHEAP. any input will welcomed ....ted
