Yeah, for sure talk to them about it and also what your looking to do with it and get out of it...
Seriously though, the 400D and 450D series are perfect for what you would want it for. They should have links to sample shots on the Canon website...
Unless of course you are thinking of turning pro photographer where you could be up for $11,000+ for SLR and lenses.
Teds Camera House is doing great deals on them atm.
