I know ive been talking about getting a dslr for years, but im almost ready to invest in one. With Canon's 3 level rebate program I need to get 2 more canon items on thier rebate list. So I was wondering what you all thought of these 2 lenses, and if you know of anywhere cheaper to get the 3 items that is trust worthy.
First item is the Canon 350d XT - $789.95 - $225 rebate *$75 x 3*

Im not sure about getting the one with the kit lens that is somewhat wide angle. I may just pick that lens up off of ebay or something for cheap, or just get the camera with it included. I know its a bad lens but its better than nothing. I plan to get the Sigma 15-30mm wide angle but that wont be for a year or so.
First lens is the Canon 85mm F1.8 - $349.95 - $45 rebate *$15 x 3*

And the 2nd lens is the Canon 75-300mm F4-4.5 - $159.95 - $15 *$5 * 3*

This one I know isnt that great of a lens, but I plan to buy the battery grip, flash, couple 1gb memory cards, etc so I dont want to spend to much money at once.
I also plan to get the Canon 50mm F1.8 but its not on the rebate list so its not high priority atm. The Canon 50mm F1.4 is on the list but its really expensive and ive heard of people complain that it has a distortion to it. And its alot more expensive for not much more light going through. Im not sure if that 0.4mm is half a stop more light or what.
I also wont get to play with these new toys until February or March because if I buy these, they will be shipped to the states where it will wait for me until I move. So hopefully B&H or whom ever I buy it through wont have a problem with a different billing/shipping addresses. And hopefully the rebates wont have a problem with that to.
Ill probably end up getting them from B&H since I know they are trust worthy. I was also looking at Willoughby's but they are more expensive, and WolfCamera but I dont know how reputible these places are.
