Thats crap .... I shoot Nikon, so dont know my way around canon lenses. Id maybe combine the T2 with an 18-200. Problem: it is 699 dollars. Also how much zoom and for what? I rarely go over 300. Do yourself a favour and buy the nifty fifty. Learn with that. On a DSLR with GOOD glass .... Dont go any other way.
She is just testing you. She wants to see how much you'd invest in her. Tggg teenage girls... Ignore her a bit, stay very friendly, casual and when she comes back flirting (she will btw) - kiss her the french way. Dont hesitate.
