beginner camera? looking for a Vari-angle LCD
I am looking into a beginner camera but specifically looking for a Vari-angle LCD. Right now i am interested in the Canon Rebel T3i. Does anyone have any other suggestions? also is it safe to buy used SLR cameras?
I know that i can buy a body separate from a lens. What lenses would be good to start out with? I specifically want to take wedding and child pictures.

Natural selection is responsible for every living thing that exists.
D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.
The T3i is great. I buy used gear all the time, to save money (to buy more gear!:D). I'd recommend a 50 1.8 and maybe a Tamron 17-50.
Prime means "not zoom". A 20mm is a prime. A 50mm is a prime. A 200mm is a prime.
Telephoto means beyond 70mm or so. There are telephoto zooms (70-200 for example), and there are telephoto primes (135mm f/2L for example). Telephoto is the opposite of wide-angle.
1st vs 3rd party: it depends. Different 3rd party lenses are different quality. The Tamron 17-50 is definitely worth buying - very good quality. The Tamron 55-200 is much lower quality, and probably not worth buying. When in doubt, ask here
