I will be travelling to Europe next month (mainly Germany), and am looking for a beginner SLR set up. Right now I am looking at a Canon EOS Rebel T2 body and a Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Autofocus Lens. I haven't read reviews of the body, but it is a bit more expensive than the K2 and offers faster shutter speeds and a better built in flash.
Overall, my budget is around $500 and I am going to be taking mainly nature shots
