In 1100 you do nothing wrong, it is sufficient for the lovers of absolute and makes great photos. A few years ago it would have been a technical sensation, and a top model. Nothing to complain about it, I already had the predecessor, the 1000D and'm going to certainly buy the successor again, just for the above purpose.
The update you also lose a fortune because the used cameras still have a resale value (however, were given away with me to the Relatives).
I hope I will be forgiven if I leave it in the relatively shallow appreciation of the camera (The 1100D is a super camera ...) and rather write about a topic that newcomers greatly moved: Which lens to buy for a start?
The resolution of the camera is high, the picture detail and picture quality great. But to get this high image quality also should be rather than the purchase of some zoom lenses, a camera can only show as much detail as the lens can.
Especially the offered Bundle Lenses I would not very empfehlen- they are not really bad, but the beginners do not allow sufficient creative play possibilities, the professional will not want to screw on for a lot of money. The kit lenses are so maxed out shortly and will surely be replaced by something better, so that they are nonsensical.
Alternatively lenses by beginners are often bought, covering an extremely wide zoom range, from wide angle to telephoto. The Super zoom with extreme long Zoombreich are for travel, etc. in practice, but this bulky, large and heavy. This is quickly on the small photo tour to load. Your image quality is fairly useful but not really good and so they, too, are often quickly replaced by one of the expensive light-telephoto zoom 70-200. Especially in the light and relatively compact 1100D make great heavy lenses little fun, also because of the advantage of the camera is lost and therefore it is bad in the balance then.
While the Super zooms have a halfway usable resale value, the Bundle lenses on reselling quite a Totalverlust- are no one wants. As such, it may be the better way to prefer what better to buy the same at the beginning and does not even have to be expensive.
Instead of soup or zoom lens to bundle features a classic cheap and good fixed focal lengths to which extremely inexpensive yet very strong imaging Canon 50mm with open aperture 1.8 or one of the 30/35 mm Canon or Sigma for example.
Specifically, the 50mm 1.8 is a classic portrait focal length on an APS-C sensor and makes the camera suitable for studio very little money. The 35mm is on APS-C sensor, the equivalent to an earlier 50 mm normal focal length and great for everyday use. The high light intensity of these lenses allow photography in low-light and play with the depth of field.
Man photographing with fixed focal lengths, unlike with Zooms- by approaches the motives or removed. A completely different way of photographing, to get used to it quickly. The 50mm 1.8 is one of the really good and also very inexpensive lenses, but above all it will lose little value, it is used almost as expensive as new. Several photographers in my circle have always 50mm on the camera and change only for special occasions to Tele or Wide. In confined spaces can be a little long from the 50mm focal length forth, then a wide angle is also a good choice.
The zoom is lacking in practice because of the rare-good picture detail and the relatively high number of pixels can be done for Not something that is otherwise taboo among photographers, namely using a section of photos, instead of back in. 12 MP is already a whole lot, also a part of a picture often enough still to auszubelichten a poster in usable quality.
Example of a good, bright and affordable fixed focal length:
Canon EF 50mm 1: 1.8 II lens (52mm filter thread)
