Buying a DSLR as a present.

[aceytrixx]

So with christmas around the corner Im starting to think of presents. Now my girlfriend has wanted a dslr for a long time now but I have no idea where to start so is something like the canon 1100D the sort of thing that would be worth picking up or are these lower end models (not thst I can really go much higher) not worth getting?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers I dont really know anything about these things. Also will any Nikon lens fit the camera or does it need to be specific ones?
