So, what did I what’s the final recommendation on what to get, here is where and some places. These places by the way are already obsolete a week later so go to pricegrabber to get the correct latest prices.
Here is the basic dSLR setup:
* Canon Digital Rebel XT. “Buydig”:https://buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=CNDRXTB. $674 plus $100 rebate. Check “Pricegrabber”:http://www.pricegrabber.com/p__Canon_EOS_350D_Digital_Rebel_XT_Digital_SLR_Camera_Body_Only_Black,__7139626/sort_type=bottomline for latest pricing.
* Canon EF 24-105mm F/4 L. “PC Nation”:http://www.pcnation.com/web/details.asp?item=3C914P. $1170.70 plus $50 rebate. “Pricegrabber”:http://www.pricegrabber.com/p__Canon_EF_24_105mm_f_4_L_IS_USM_Standard_Zoom_Lens,__11402001/sort_type=bottomline for latest
* Canon Speedlite 430EX Flash. “Digital Foto”:http://www.digitalfotoclub.com/sc/from-pricegrabber.asp?id=964600894&rf=pg&dfdate=05_25_2006. $242 plus $15 rebate. “Pricegrabber”:http://www.pricegrabber.com/p__Canon_SPEEDLITE_430EX,__11456350/sort_type=bottomline
* SanDisk 4GB Ultra II CompactFlash 60x. “Beach Camera”:http://www.beachcamera.com/shop/product.aspx?ref=pricegrabber&utm_source=PriceGrabber&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SDCF4GU2&sku=SDCF4GU2. $175. “Pricegrabber”:http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=5541576/sort_type=bottomline
Of course, actually getting the $165 in rebates is going to be very hard. Canon makes it nearly impossible, but worth the effor.t
And for really compact needs:
* Fujifilm F11. The Camera Box. $304.75
* Olympus xD 1GB Type H Card. B&H Photovideo. $54.65
