Rebate starts April 1st!

Rebate Pic
Another one posted in DPreview
Thanks FredMiranda and Dpreview

Rebel XT price is around ~$720-750 minus $100 rebate would make this great price..
5D is around ~2700 minus $300 rebate would be ~2400
EDIT: $2700 is just a price on sale in my head, I thought I saw that in Feb, sorry for the confusion, I don'think there's any 5D at this price at this moment.

Michael Reichmann's summation of this Canon zoom's merits (taken from The Luminous Landscape):

    "Introduced in September, 2005, the 24-105mm is the lens that many photographers have been waiting for. It combines the small size and versatility of the 28-135mm along with a while stop of extra aperture, Image stabilization, wider coverage, and L lens image and build quality. Tests show its image quality to be comparable in many respects to the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8, one of the finest medium range zooms available, and a bread-and-butter lens for many pros."

Green for you. Finally I can get the 50mm f/1.4. From Amazon.

Why is 24-105mm f/4L so good? Is IS really helpful for 105mm zoom? $1300 seems expensive for an f/4 lens. My 17-40mm f/4L + 70-200mm f/4L will probably just do the same for my rebel XT. If you want IS, why not get the 70-200 f/2.8L?

because you are looking at close to 2 grand

And because the size and weight of the 70-200mm f/2.8 are drawbacks in many situations.

Green for the OP, although I do not need any more lens since I've already owned 17-40mm f/4L, 70-200mm f/2.8L, and 24-70mm f/2.8L. Anyone can recommend me another?

There's always the 100-400mm L series glass. Just because you might need it.

I'd consider getting the 24-105mm if I could sell my 28-135mm lens.

I have been looking at the nikon d50 which is a little less.
What should I do?
And which lens(s)? No $1000 lenses please

The kit lens isn't that bad for the Digital Rebel. I have the 17-40mm L lens, the 28-135mm lens with IS ($420 or so) and the 70-300mm with IS ($550). They are all pretty good lenses. The L series glass is better, but you will pay for that.

Take pictures instead of collecting lenses.

Good choice, but I already own a Canon EF 1.4X II Extender, and Maxie, I do take lots of pics!

Because it's one not-so-big lens. And 24mm will be perfect wide angle for full frame camera like 5D that people might upgrade in the future. 17-40mm + 70-200mm/4 is also a good choice though.

dreamlogic said:thanks op, just picked up a 85 f/1.8excellent choice! this is my most used lens. i'm shooting mostly indoor volleyball and basketball w/o a flash. all the other parents complain that their shots don't come out. they're shooting with zooms with larger apertures (3.5 or larger.)

regarding the kit lens: i was gonna sell my kit lens because i bought the canon 17-40 & 50mm prime, but the kit lens is a lot smaller and lighter. i decided to keep the kit lens and use it when i don't want to carry a larger lens or camera bag.

Though it's nice to brag and have everyone know how kiasu you are, you could add this to your collection:


EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM (Available in April 2006)
