| hello there. i want some advice as i am going to buy my first dslr. i would go either of the canon digital rebel xt or xti. i am planning to buy either with 1or 2 lenses. my photography will include normal indoor, outdoor telephoto of animals and birds, low light conditions in short zoom ranges, some wedding and some portraits. now problem is that i have to buy the camera body and lenses(if more than 1 is needed) without other accessories within $700 (without shipping). i seek ur valuable advice for the best combinations.any sample photo or link to the sample will be appreciated. |

| Well you can save some money by buying the 350D and choose the lens lengths you need for your style and subjects you shoot.I am sure you know what focal lengths you need because you are already shooting weddings and only have to calculate the 1.6x magnification factor. And I will assume you will be using the Canon lenses you already have from your Canon 35mm SLR.Don't be afraid to buy used lenses; both Nikon and Canon make lenses that work for decades. |

| On your budget you can afford a used XT, used 18-55 kit kens and used Canon 75-300.Try the big camera retailers...they should be able to fix you up.HTH. |

| I am not sure that you can get everything you want for US$700, even if you buy used, especially for the animals and birds and low light. I bought a used 350D (with software and cables but no CF card) and a used Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (good for low-light conditions indoors and for portraits) for about $700. This won't work particularly well for your animals and birds, but hobbyist grade telephotos can be had fairly cheap. The body with the18-55mm f/3.5-4.5 "kit" lens should take care of your wideangle needs until you can afford something better.You can expect a truly good long telephoto to fit your 350D or 400D to cost you at least $700 all by itself. |
