Ok,thanks for the advice in this thread My problem: Prosumer vs DSLR
and I've pretty much decided to go with the Digital Rebel over the G5. My next question is what to do about a starter lense. I have read some comments on here that the lense that comes with the rebel kit isnt that great. Would I be better off buying the body only (Ive found it for $575) and buy a lense (I dont want to spend ALOT on one) or buy the the one with the kit lense for $644. Also they have for $729 a kit with a "New! 28-80mm Auto Focus Lens". Also, all of these come with a free tripod, case, and cleaning system.

Keep in mind that my main purpose is taking landscape shots, especially at night, but also great daytime shots. What do you guys think?
