This is what I bought because I want to keep my factory HU

It will work with just this, but if you want a factory look you'll have to do a little bit more. Otherwise, you just run the aux cable through a side panel, cupholder, e-brake slot, etc. This also allows you to still use steering wheel controls if you have them.

Just like it says, share a screenshot of your phone's home screen. This is a fun way to see how others have their phones set up and maybe learn about new apps you weren't aware of. I'll start. I also took the photo of the Viper badge that serves as the wallpaper.

[QUOTE="quikdash6"][QUOTE="GioVela2010"]Get a Sony RX100 and call it a dayGioVela2010
Yeah, an overpriced point and shoot is a better buy than the T3

Overpriced cOmpared to what?

Compared to what you get from a full sized DSLR of the same price. 1. No viewfinder 2. Smaller sensor 3. Lens isn't interchangeable 4. No ability to have external flash Yes, it is good for what it is and compared to other cameras of its kind, but not against a DSLR.

[QUOTE="phhstom1"][QUOTE="GOGOGOGURT"]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.

Depends on where you buy it from. Some places will just sell you the body with no lenses, others will put in the most basic (18-55) some will do twin lens kits (18-55 and 55-250) and others will do a discount on another lens if you buy it at the same time (or at least that's how we do it here in Australia, i assume it's the same worldwide.) Yeh a lot of people think macro photography is just close up, but pure macro requires that minimum of 1x magnification. If you're just after close up then the 18-55 (or even 55-250mm) will serve you okay. Macro really is difficult to get your head around and it requires a lot of reading and new techniques to account for issues like incredibly shallow depth of field and stuff, but it is fantastic! As far as shooting at distance i'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you talking about doing landscapes or something where the subject is the quite far awya and you need to be able to 'zoom' in on them?

Yes, like wildlife photograhy, being able to get a good shot without getting so close to scare them off. Would a 55-250mm do for that?

So if I bought it off Amazon, do you think a 2 lense kit would be an option? If you don't know, then what store would you reccomend to buy the camera from?

I can see how the Depth of field would be difficult with macro, but it seems pretty cool.

It is (I'm looking right now), but the zoom/telephoto lenses aren't really ideal. For those it really helps to have the Image Stabilization and the bundles I'm seeing don't have IS and would probably be out of your price range if they did. The 18-55 kit lens does have IS though.

[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.

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

Well, the Rebel T3 is the better camera being a DSLR with interchangeable lenses, and obviously lets you control all the settings. The lens is what determines being able to shoot at a distance or get macro shots. If you provide an example of what you consider macro photography to be I can tell you if the kit lens will give you what you want or if you would need something else.
