Finally took the plunge today and bought a Canon Digital Rebel XSi. I realized why people can buy TV's at Best Buy, but not cameras. I went there and Circuit City and although they had great financing, the people working there were totally useless, and didn't know anything about cameras in general.
Ended up going to Ritz where the guy there spent almost an hour with me discussing different models, my wants and likes. I got a good deal with the kit lens, and the 75-300 zoom lens for $50 more. That should get me started until I get enough into it and realize I want better lenses
Anyway, I bought a little backpack for it too to take around with me. I also mountain bike as well and may get the nerve to take this camera along with me. Usually I use a CamelBak when I ride. The camera obviously wouldn't fit in there safely.
Is putting this backpack INSIDE this bigger Kelty pack ridiculous? The Kelty has a pouch for a reservoir of water, but the pack is awfully big. Again, this wouldn't be TOO often that I would take it with me, but occasionally. The camera will serve other functions more often than biking.
Thanks
