My wife and I are going to have our first child and we're looking for a camera that can take good pics and video for long lasting memories.
We are trying to judge between these two cameras, we can get a nice discount on either one. Which one is better for the money? FYI we really want a tripod so if you choose the Canon do you know where we can get one that's compatible?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

p.s. when I was in 2nd grade I told the class I was going to be a wildlife photographer. I'm 26 now and I've NEVER owned a camera. Excited to finally explore picture taking.
