Sale! Canon DSLR's

[G.Irish]

I might pick up a Rebel to do some shooting at races next year. Check out the deals on Rebel XT's, XTi's, and 30D's. Of course maybe you could get a better deal anywhere but it seems like a pretty good deal.

yea, the body only from the tech site above site is 458, what's your point?

never buy a camera from a shady operation like that. usually they are grey market, no warranty, no accessories, and they call you after you order it to try to get you to buy a bunch of crap with it

no point just clarifying, didnt know if others would realize its body only.

What camera did your friend buy? Was it a refurb or something?

the original lens is worthless anyway.

Hmm, this place sounds a little shady:

Here's their storefront, apparently they have more than one name: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://donwiss.com/pictures/BrooklynStores/h0009.htm">http://donwiss.com/pictures/BrooklynStores/h0009.htm</a><!-- m -->

i really want to get into photographyon the side, scenery and moving shots of cars and such. A few people have recommended the Nikon D50 i think it is. Is this a good suggestion as a starter DSLR? Or should i just go with cheaper updated camera. I just cant get good shots with my current digi cam that is 5 years old.

i wouldn't buy anything from them with someone else's credit card

the d50 is a good camera to begin with. really, you can even start with less than that. you can get good shots with a point and shoot, but i feel it's an uphill battle there. some of the larger form-factor non-dslrs are pretty decent and don't force you to change lenses and such.

i once tried to buy a DSLR from a similar type of online store. I had to call to confirm, they tried to sell me outragiously priced lenses and accessories. When i denied their sales on the accessories they said they were 'out of stock' of the DSLR's....:roll:

he got a brand new 300D or something expensive like that

[Mike]

has he tried to use that warranty? i'm going to bet money it is refurbished.

Any suggestions on those???

[Mike]

i recommended the canon s2 to my sister a while back. there is an s3 that is out now for $400ish. at that price point you're probably better off just getting a used DSLR.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dpreview.com/">http://www.dpreview.com/</a><!-- m --> can help you far more than i could hope to. keep in mind that anything over 3-4mp you won't use unless you're printing posters and shit.

[flintster55]

Like mike said, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dpreview.com">http://www.dpreview.com</a><!-- m --> is a great place to do research. They have some very lengthy reviews but there is lots of great info.

I bought a Canon S3 about a month ago on sale for $329. I have been very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

[Mike]

for 329 that is definitely a great camera for someone looking to get in on a budget. for a base-level dslr you're looking at more than that PLUS any extra lenses. without my 300mm zoom, which was like another $150, i'd be lost. i still need something to carry around as well (25-135 comes to mind) since the stock lens falls short, and that is gonna run me another 400 or so.
