As soon as BHPhoto comes back from holidays, I'm planning on ordering this:

G&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation

Basically, Digital Rebel XTi body (black) with Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Autofocus Lens

It'll be my first SLR camera. I'm really interested in doing HDR photography. I'll also be getting a tripod and a polarizing filter.

My price range was about this (it was more like $1000 but I doubt I can get an XTi body for ~$600 before my vacation to Japan next month).

What say you, /p/? Making a good choice? I wanna stay with Canon, and I think that lens is way better than the stock lens and gives me some IS love.

IS is win. I'm really looking forward to one day being able to afford an IS lens...

But yeah, you'll be happy with this kit.

See if you can get an EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS instead and you've got a win there.

$1000 US DOLARS (more than a PS3)

Way out of my price range.

meh i have a rebel, and i dont need to fiddle with hi res digital photography because i have a speed graphic. plus with a large format like my maximar i can experiment with different kinds of films, thats one of the things i dislike about 35mm and even more so about digital is how physicly limiting it is, there is no chance for happy accidents, plus freaking out over a camera fuckup keeps you on your toes :p
