QUOTE (Supersprynt @ Dec 5, 2008 - 12:22 PM)  No no no. No way I could afford that. I was originally going to get a new 50D...but then with comparisons to the 5D, the 5D was still edging it out. Add in the full-frame and I was sold. still a very nice choice.

Oh yeah absolutely. I will have to shoot a lot more often to justify this purchase.

Just the body and kit lens was $550 for mine, but that was one sale. I think they are normally $600 or $650 brand new. You can sometimes find good deals on used ones with some additional things (lenses, lens hood, grip ect) for like $500-$600. Or save yourself some money and get an XT which is $500 brand new w/ the same kit lens.

Right now Canon offers the XS which you can get for much cheaper. I'm selling my XTI for $400 QUOTE (RickJamesBish @ Dec 6, 2008 - 5:55 PM) WOW, that's ridiculous...yeah, can't see myself paying that much for a camera unless it was my hobby. I just spent $1200 on a used 5D. -------------------- |

I played around with the XTi and it was cool, but like I sez, I'd never drop that much money on a camera... |

^ you could always buy a little point n' shoot if you don't want to get too much into photography at first. That's originally what I was going to do, but I tried the XTI and loved it.

It does get to be a spendy hobby, the uv haze filter for my 100-400 was $93 by itself.
I have a little over 4k into my stuff right now and will probably spend another 3k on lenses this year. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

I need a long lens, and maybe something really short. After that I have the range pretty filled.

haha suuure. not yet tho
800 is too much for me and i would hate a fixed lens at such a long length. i think the 70-200 twoeight is just fine for me. im planning on getting some more lower mm primes though, they are fun. -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
