I want to get either the Canon 10d or 20d. I checked the prices out on computers.com and the difference between the 20d with and with out the lense is like $600us, which seems like alot for a kit lense.
I would like my total cost to be around $2000 cdn, so im not sure if I should get the Canon 20d or save $200 and get the 10d. The extra 2mp would be nice, and more fps and the extra 1/4000 min shutter is nice but im not sure if I will ever need 1/8000 exposure.
I was thinking of instead of getting the 17-85mm kit lense, get a couple prime lenses but im not sure if this will save me any money. The main purpose for this camera is weddings and porterature, but I also want to be able to do nature/scenery stuff with it, and stock picture, car pictures, real estate, etc. I dont really want to limit myself. The kit lense would probably cover most of these except for wildlife, I would need a 200mm for that minimum.
So what does everyone here suggest?
Get the kit lense with the camera?
Buy the 17-80mm lense seperate?
Buy a 50mm and 150mm prime lense?
I dont know how much those are, for some reason canon's site doesnt show prices and I havent taken the time to look them up on henry's website and b&h's website.
Im not to concerned with fast lenses but I wouldnt complain if I had it. Also im not sure Ill want to be switching back and forth between lenses when doing a wedding. I will want to get a nice wide angle lense but thats not a priority right now.
