Im really thinking about getting a new camera? Ive had my eye on the new Canon Rebel XT.
Ive never taken a photog class before and no very little as far as the technical aspect goes. Ive posted a few pics here. Nothing to write home about, but I think they're a good start. I do understand film speeds, aperture, etc. At least enough to get by. Right now Im using a Panasonic DMC-FZ5. I really like it, but I feel limited?
Would the 350D be a good choice for an am like me? If not, could you recommend something else?
The actual camera Im looking at is an eBay package. It comes with the body, 3 lenses, ext. flash, 4 GB microdrive, filters and some other accessories for about $1300. Do these lenses and accessories seem ok for starter to semi advanced photography?
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 AF Lens
Sigma 28-70mm f2.8-4 HIGH SPEED lens
Titanium .45x Wide Angle Lens
Hitachi 4GB MicroDrive
One more thing. Do you think the actual package is fair in price? Or could I find the body, lenses and micro drive (or better quality) for an equal price or cheaper without all the other accessories included? I don't know anything about those lenses :meh: $1300 is a lot of money for someone like me that only does this as a hobby. I dont want to regret a big purchase.
