[QUOTE="phhstom1"]I have a Canon 600D (rebel T3) it's a great camera. Not sure what you mean about the optical zoom it comes with has to be able to do a macro and distance photography. The lenses you use will determine what sort of photography you'll be able to achieve. Standard kit lenses (18-55mm and 55-250mm) are okay for basic landscapes and portraits, but terrible for macro. The very definition of macro is that the size of the object you are taking a photograph of fills the exact same space on the camera's image sensor (i.e 1x magnification, a 1 cm bug will fill 1cm on the sensor) No kit lenses will be able to do this without extension tubes or other modifications. A bona fide canon macro lens will set you back another 600bucks easily (but they are well worth it) Do some more research, especially into DSLR's they work a lot differently compared to smaller point and shoot options, but of course you get much better results.GOGOGOGURT
Ok thanks.
So the rebel T3 comes with two lenses? (18-55mm and 55-250mm)
And I dislike point and shoot. I'm well past that stage and I can't get the shot that I really want with a point and shoot.
Ok I guess I didn't understand macro, but I want to be able to take close-ups at high quality, and 18-55mm is perfect for that, just not distance.
It doesn't necessarily come with two lenses. It depends where you purchase it from and what kind of bundle they have.This is a true macro photograph

This is probably what you would get from the kit lens after the photo was cropped
