Just Got a Quote From B&H - Equipment Change Suggestions?

[Fotografer]

Was talking to the sales guy. He seemed very nice and knowledgeable. One thing I noticed immediately is that he steered me away from Nikon and to Canon, citing that if I need accessories, Nikon will be WAY BACK ORDERED.... And he adamantly suggested Canon because of this. He suggested the Rebel T2I as you can see in the quote below.</p>
<p>bsp;</p>
<p>So, this is what he suggested for indoor and outdoor portraits or head shots, which is all I'll be using this for at the start. I'd appreciate any suggestions on substituting any of this for something that might be more or less money. Value is what I'm looking for here. I just want to have a high quality setup for indoor and outdoor portrait shots. Thanks a lot! Here's the quote....</p>
