Ben
In advance, please forgive my knowledge of camera, or lack thereof.
Next week, it's my brother's 21st next week and we're looking to get him a Camera. He wants a DSLR. and the guy from JBHiFi recommended a Canon 650D. It comes with a twin lens pack (no idea what that actually means), but it's about $1000.
Firstly, is this a good price?
Secondly, is it a good camera, for a complete beginner who simply wants to be able to play with and edit photos on Photoshop (he's a student Architect)
Thanks guys! If you need any more info, please let me know.
Answer
Canon's EOS 650D is an entry level DSLR. Entry level DSLRs are designed for beginners. Really the brand of camera doesn't matter. All these cameras that fall into that category are good enough for a beginner who is interested in photography.
You can use any camera to take photos and play around in Photoshop - a DSLR is not required for that!!!
If your brother is interested in Photography and learning about photography in general, then a DSLR is good. If he isn't interested in Photography, and just wants to take snaps, then a DSLR is total overkill. Get him a nice point and shoot.

I am buyng my first DSLR for Christmas, and i don't know which one of those 3 should i buy? I am a beginner and i don't know much about photography, but i like taking pictures of nature, landscapes, maybe portraits. So which one do you think i should buy? Oh, and which lens should i get? Thanks!
Answer
The 650D or the 100D gains a little advantage over the 600D with processor correction for chromatic aberration, and the STM autofocusing that is a little bit faster in live view and video. The 100D is a little bit lighter, while the 650D is a little bit more fully featured with an articulating LCD.

To make use of the STM feature you should get an STM kit lens such as the 18-55mm STM or the 18-135mm STM. The later is more versatile, but it is heavier and more expensive. Some stores bundle the 650D with non-STM lenses. I think you should avoid the non-STM lens kits. Avoid kits that throw in a big collection of accessories like tripods and filters. While it can be a good idea to eventually get some of that kind of accessory, the big-bundles usually include low quality, useless or nearly useless versions.
