[QUOTE="EORI, post: 606997, member: 43203"] Here's a good starting point: [url]http://photo.net/equipment/canon/[/url] General rule of thumb: Spend your money on the lens, and not on the camera; like computers, advances in technology cause digital cameras to get "outdated" every year, while lenses generally do not. By this rule, you would be better served getting the Xti over the Xsi. You'll still get very good image quality with the Xti. Don't get the crappy 18~55 kit lens. There is a newer version of the 18~55 lens with Image Stabilization, which is noticeably better. With the money saved on getting the Xti over the Xsi, buy the newer lens. What additional range are you looking for? Wider or longer? If you are going wider, you only have one choice among Canon lenses; the 10~22. If going longer, your best bet is the 70~200 f/4L. A secondary option is the 70~300IS. [/QUOTE]
