 Check out this site, which has the lenses broken down by categories (i.e, "Canon Primes" (non-zoom lenses), "Canon Zooms", etc.)

		| | We definitely are thinking on the same wave length here! At the end of this month, when I receive my refund check, I too will be purchasing a new DSLR. I have decided that I want to get the Canon Rebel 300D SLR. I have done my research, and I found it be a great camera all around. So I hope that you can make the choice, and pick what is right for you!

		| | With all these return checks coming I won't be surprise if there was a run on the Rebel for the next couple of months. Buy early or you might be on the waiting lists. |
