If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your xti?
Here is a breakdown of everything.
I picked up
-Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Silver 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only/No Lens Included)
719.10
-Canon EF 28-105 mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM Standard Zoom Lens
224.10
-Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens
62.89
-SanDisk 2 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card (20MB read/write)
55.99
-Sony VCT-R640 Lightweight Tripod
47.99
All of this for a grand total of $1,110.07
I have a friend that does photography for a living, he didn't help me choose all this as he was on vacation at the time but he said the two lenses I purchased were great for the price and would do me really well. He said he actually has them as well and definately makes use of them.
The nice thing is that the XTi has alot of features of the 20D, its missing the ability to choose exact iso settings and being able to just keep the shutter wide open. The body is also smaller than some people like. I don't mind it though. It feels really good with a descent lens on it.
Hope that helps. :thumbsup:
Oh yea, I got everything through Dell as they have camera sales pretty often . :iono:
