Ok I want to know if this is good before I buy, because I noticed it selling with different lenses in different places and also if I need anything else to go with it.

how do u figure!! bh is 1120$ new egg is 1200$ hun thats 80$ not 8$

last week Dell had 2 15% off promotions it looks only 1 is in place know!

and if it was only 8$ cheaper BH is a much more reputible place than newegg is who commonly know to sell open box items

Nikki · 11-26-2006, 05:21 PM

o lol too many ones. but the one at newegg is only 3 day shiiping for $8 and it comes with a 1GB card. I have dealt with them a lot and their service is excellent.

diesel007 · 11-26-2006, 05:24 PM

I thought those things were a complete waste of money.

Me too, I'm actually getting it because I plan on traveling a lot now that I am single and my first trip back to CT in a few weeks I want to be memorable. I don't want to look back when I'm 30 wishing I had a DSLR and not a point and shoot when I took photos that actually meant something to me. Maybe you know what I mean.

ga-bmwdrvr · 11-26-2006, 05:42 PM

Don't know about BH, but I have ordered from Newegg for years and their service is excellent. Might be worth the price difference.

exAudiGuy · 11-26-2006, 07:16 PM

Nikki-

The 30D is a great choice. I currently have a 300D (aka Digital Rebel) and I'm about to upgrade to the 30D myself. The kit lens that comes with it is not great, but it's a good starter lens. One nice cheap (approx $70) addition is the Canon 50mm f1.8 Prime. It's a great portrait lens, fast, and sharp. My current "walk-around" lens is the Canon 17-85 USM IS, but it's kinda pricey, around $550. If you haven't found it yet, a great site is www.dpreview.com. It has an international readership, and great discussion forums on Canon Hardware.

You've got a great eye for composition, so the better equipment is going to serve you well...post up some results when you've got it!

nine4surfah · 11-26-2006, 07:21 PM

Wow I'm jealous, I currently have a 350D (XT) and would love to get my hands on a 30D!

just4kickz · 11-26-2006, 07:39 PM

asshole is profanity? wow... either you guys are backwards or im from the future

Nikki · 11-26-2006, 08:18 PM

What do you guys think of the Rebel XTi instead? I was talking with some other people and they said that I would never need any of the features the 30D has and that it is half as much and the lenses make the difference.
I don't know, any comments on that?

Sounds true enough. I've found that a LOT of features on high-end digitals are not really used... you could save $600 and get something lower end that will take just as nice of a picture, with less options. Assuming a quality photo-receptor, lense/filter choices really do make all the difference.
