Hi, I'm new to DSLRs and new here on the forums. I wanna get into some photography and I wanna get a decent setup. I'm looking to spend no more than $1300 for a setup. I've been reading lots of stuff and have a general understanding (on paper) of what I think I need to know, just need to get the camera to see if I really know . Anyways, what would you guys recommend? I was looking at the Rebel XTi first, then I noticed on Canon's website that the XSi's coming out soon (anyone know the exact date?). Then I stopped by some local stores and fell in love with the 40D. I think I would most like to get the 40D. But, anyway, what do you recommend? Is there anything I need to consider? I'm sure there is, but if you guys ask me the questions, it'll help me figure out what's most important in this purchase. What about this? It seems like a deal to me... only thing is, I really like the 28-135 lens in the store...
