Ok, I can't say I know what I'm doing but I pretty much know what I want to purchase, a Canon XTI.
Looking around the online and retail stores, the price ranges (for kits) around 800-1000. That is just camera and A lens.
A friend of mine did purchase a Canon XT about a year ago and suggested I should purchase mine on eBAY.
Of course, after perusing eBay, the packages they have there are unbelieveable. They range from 2 to 3 lenses, carrying case, etc. in different combinations and price varying but are competitive to the online and retail store but are offering lots lots more.
The question is, some packages offer 2 to 3 additional lenses and I noticed some packages are cheaper with Sigma lenses, then Tamron lenses, and Canon lenses, are the Canon lenses the best suggestion to go with the packages?
In addition, there are some packages that includes flashes and I'm wondering if they are even worth including in the package or find a more less expensive package without one and buy it seperately.
Can someone offer some advice as to what packages are worth the purchase or what they offer is worthwhile on Ebay?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Oh, lastly, my budget for these packages or in general is around $1000.
