I Need Help Deciding On A Camera!

My dad is getting me a camera, and I one that is good for beginers.
I narrowed down my choices to the Cannon Rebel T3, T3i, or the T2. I'm leaning more twards the T3, and the T3i but I want to hear what you guys have to say about the T2.
Wich out of the three do you guys recomend the most?
Is there a better option out there that might intrest me?
I know there are photographers in this forum, and I would gladly like to hear from you.
So please leave any tips and advice about the cameras or any other information.
Thanks in advance! :D
 
I love my Canon T2i. I think the T3i is the same camera with a flip-out screen. Match it up with a nice marco lense 90, 100 or 105 mm and you can take some real nice photos.

Those are some beautiful photos! I want to upgrade to a canon rebel t2i as well. What is the best macro lens to use with this camera? Like to take similar close ups of the bee and flowers, what did you use for those? And what is a good choice to use for the more far away shots like of wildlife that you can't get to close up too...zoom lens is what I'm thinking they are called. what f / stops with those lens should I get? Any tips would be awesome.
 
I use a Tamron 90 mm macro. I read a lot of reviews and it seemed like the best option at my $400 price point.
 
I'm partial to nikon. I used my coolpix S630 for about three years until upgrading to my new nikon D3100 which is EPIC. I love it. Anyway, I haven't gotten around much to using the new nikon, so the last two are not as great as they will be once I have more time to tinker with it. The first three are a few pics I took with the S630, the last two are from the new one.
