Plus, I feel very strongly that if you're investing in a professional grade camera like the 20D and plan on USING it, you'll need a flash as well. Which ups your budget another $300 or so.

Again, that depends completely on application. I hardly ever use a flash for sports.

If you decide you have outgrown the Digital Rebel down the road and want to move to a 20d/1d, you'll have some really nice accessories that'll work with them.


What he said!


what you both said, because that does sound ideal... i'm probably six months from investing in one of these, and i'm beginning to go towards the idea of getting a 300d / rebel body (because i'm shallow, preferably a black one imported from asia is it isn't too prohibitive in cost) and two nice, inexpensive lens's (if such things exist). so, for a complete novice, which two canon or sigma lens's would be best. like to be possibly spending up to a total of 600 dollars on lens's, methinks.

Not me (I Wish...)

Me?

well have had the 300D a few months now, my 4th digicam in 18mths (still have the Oly730). I took the big step into dSLR 25 years after selling my Pentax ME Super.

Please don't knock the kit lens as for many people it will be the only lens on the 300D for some time and to be honest it produces excellent images under the 'right' conditions and will also help improves ones picture quality over (dare I say) a point and shoot.

As for lenses, I seem to be going through them faster than I did cams. I just sold my 75-300 IS to buy the 70-200 f/4 L and ok, I lost some length but the quality of image far outways that loss (I can still take bad pictures with it though).

I'm happy with the 300D (without the hack) and hope it will stand me in good stead for at least a year ;)

Yes, its the glass that counts, so buying an 'entry' level dSLR and investing in decent glass (when you can) will far outway getting the best cam (today) and skimping on quality of the lens.

I love 99.99% of my 10D. My only complaint is with the stupid battery meter since it only has two bars. Would have been better if there was more "resolution" to it with maybe three or even four bars. Other than that I can't complain. Oh yeah, mine is also missing the blue ribbon program mode.
