Canon will be releasing the XSi in April? I think. It's an improvement on the XTi with 12.2mp and a live viewing screen.

Yea, but what disappoints me is that it still shoots 3.5 fps and only takes SD cards. The rubberized grip also adds a really nice touch though.

I was going to get a 17-85 and a 70-300 but what I have seen on the 70 to 300
isn't that impressive so I am going to save up for a good tele and a wide angle.
The shooting speed is incredible on this thing. The live view is very cool you can take shots remote
with a laptop and usb cable while viewing it on the screen. I just need a grand for the wifi usb adaptor
to take shots without the cable. haha maybe next year.

Don't go with the 70-300mm. The 70-200mm f/(4 or 2.8)L blows it out of the water.

Here's a link to examples of most lenses.

I was actually thinking about the 100-400 or a 400 fixed. My boss has the 70-200 2.8
it is totaly sick, I guess for $1600 it should be. After I learn to use my camera a little better
I am going to borrow it from him. tongue.gif If he lets me.lol

If your going that long of a focal length I'd seriously recommend image stabilization. The kit lens will be a good walk around lens with plenty of working room.

Great shots. They are difficult to do.

Here's one I did with the 17-40mm L I got for xmas:

i just bought me a Cannon Rebel XT yesterday for $430..it was an open item at best buy...but im takin it back because theres this weird black spot in every picture i take and theres some weird rattel coming from the flash....hopefully i can get it fixed or replaced.

edit: so bestbuy is screwin me over and i cant even send it out for 2 weeks, then its gonna take 2 or 3 weeks to fix it..on average...but the good news is, if they cant get it fixed, or it takes more then 5 weeks to get fixed, they will upgrade it to an XTi for free.

very nice shots, the really nice thing about l lenses is they really
hold the value. Here is a sample of the shooting speed of this thing
not the greatest pics but look at the white suv in the upper right.
Its moving a about 60mph with a 4 mb jpeg. I may actually be able to
get some good action shots of my kids next year in football.
