However, it depends on whether or not you want to use it professionally - to shoot gigs and events, or just for you. Let me know and I'll try to make some suggestions.

I would like to know as the beginner, did you recomend me to buy Canon 60D you mentioned that it is difficult. I would like to study photography and just know I started browsing and reading articles. I consider to have the good zoom, however 60D has only 3x... I don't know is it possible to increase the zoom size by the lenses and how to calculate the lens size for example 18-135 and 17-85 what are their zooms?

It's smaller and it'll be easier to learn. As for lenses, the 18-135mm is a fine lens. The only thing I'm worried about it is that for a travel lens it may not be long enough. I'm not a fan of superzooms as their quality is usually not that great but for travel you may want to consider something like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FN1W28/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=twipix-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004FN1W28" rel="nofollow">Tamron AF 18-270mm</a>. Personally I take 3 lenses with me when travelling - a 10-20mm ultrawide, a 50mm for lowlight and a 70-200, however switching lenses can be inconvenient, especially when in a hurry.

If not, the a55. For amateur photography I think it would suit you better than the T3i. If you have the budget, you may consider Sony A65, it’s the best in its class. If not, the a55.

The absolute cheapest entry-level dSLR is the Canon T3. If money is an issue, I think you should go with Canon. You can get the T3 now and maybe buy some lenses from eBay or Craiglist later, there are tons of Canon lenses. Sony a33 is $550 on Amazon, I wouldn’t recommend anything less or older from Sony.
