What I like about girls? Well..
1. They can make pretty things easily.
2. They like to bake yummy things.
3. They help me pick clothes when I shop :D
4. They have lots of ways to do their hair. (?? it's cool ok)
5. They smell nice (in a very non creepy way).
6. They can talk for hours about nothing.
7. Most know how to deal with kids well. (i hate kids)
8. Melanie Iglesias
9. Well, other people wouldn't be very nice to look at if they were all guys..
10. They can carry the attribute of 'pretty' (you can't have pretty guys that don't look like girls, but you can have beautiful guys HAHA) -
Hello! For quick camera comparisons, I like to use Snapsort!
http://snapsort.com/compare
It lists the cameras' specifications side by side, and assigns them a rating out of 100 based on those, although their suitability will still vary on the type of photos you want to take, and how you are going to use your camera.
The 60D has better build quality, and feels slightly less plasticky than the 600D. It also has a higher burst rate, and a brighter viewfinder, more cross type auto focus points etc etc, but basically, the 600D and the 60D take almost identical photos. Given the same lens and lighting, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them.
Their difference lies in the functions and ergonomics available on the 60D body that are not available on the 600D, and of course, a ~$300 difference ($550 vs $850) in price for the body alone. This also means the 60D is bulkier and heavier, which may be important depending on the purpose of the camera. -
Hey! Did you get a lens that came with the camera (like in a kit)? If you're looking to take plenty of holiday snapshots of anything and everything, a lens like 18-105mm or 18-135mm would be ideal, since it covers the focal lengths you'd need for photos of anything, eliminating the need to carry a variety of lenses. When I went traveling, I had to lug around a backpack with my camera and lenses which was about 5-6kg in total, so just having one lens that can do everything OK-good is a good choice for holiday snapshots.
If you have an 18-55mm kit lens then that's fine too! You'll just have to move a bit closer to what you want to take a photo of if it's far away. If you somehow don't have any of these lenses, then the 18-55mm can be had for ~$100 online brand new.

Hello! The number in millimeters is the focal length of the lens. Basically, it's the field of view you get when you look through the lens, or in other words, the zoom. A lower focal length like 18mm would indicate a wide field of view, and a high focal length like 200mm would be a narrow but 'zoomed in' field of view. So a lens that says 18-135mm means that you can 'zoom' from 18mm all the way to 135mm, where as a fixed length like 35mm means you can't zoom.
Here's a helpful diagram:

I'd say it depends on how dirty your sensor really is. If it's completely caked in smudges and dust then I'd say leave it to the shop people to clean because stuff like that is pretty hard to get off the sensor with just a lenspen. You'd need a cleaning solution and swabs, which are pretty expensive so might as well just pay someone to do it!
In the case of small dust particles like mine (look for them at f/22), then the SensorKlear II and a blower should be fine. Just remember to keep the camera body facing down for as much as possible so dust doesn't land in the chamber. To object is to find the dust particle with the flashlight, then nudge it lightly with the lenspen and then blow it out once it comes loose with the blower (while holding it upside down).
If it doesn't come off, then wipe across the sensor horizontally and then blow it out. If it STILL doesn't come off and it's making your photos look dramatically worse or slowing down your workflow considerably, then take it to the pros! ($80++) -

NO then we can't keep them as pets and have to pay them for their work and such >:I

Not a silly question at all!
Yes the UV filter is a piece of glass that screws (usually clockwise) into the front of your lens where there should be threads for a number of purposes, such as blocking UV light that cause blue haze in bright sunny days, and more importantly for me, protecting the front element of the lens.
As for whether you should use one or not, I would say if you're careful with your camera and know how to clean the front element without damaging it (microfiber cloth, lenspen, etc), then a UV filter wouldn't be necessary as it only offers marginal improvements in image quality, and in some cases like the one I got for free on my Tamron 17-50, it actually lowers the contrast in my photos! So if you do decide to use one to protect your lens, make sure it's a good one!
If you buy lenses online (or even in store) and they offer you a free UV filter as a gift, it's only ever good for protecting your lens, not filtering UV. -
Hey!
It would I suppose depend on the types of portraits you would like to take, and the location. If you would like to take head-and-shoulders type portraits, then 55-200 will be a good choice. However, that's not to say you can't take waist-up portraits with it, you just need to have the space to be able to move really far back (hence location). Indoors or full body portraits, something like 18-55 should be fine, although optimally I would use a set of primes that suit the situation.
I've taken portraits with my 80-200 before, and it's best suited for photos like the attached. -
