I found this on SD and I think it's worthy of being posted here. Thanks to Kyunbit for the deal.

Add these 3 things to your cart.

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter - Tiffen
Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)

Cart shows 694$. Now proceed to checkout. On the last page the price drops to 586$ with free 2 day prime shipping. Sell the two lenses on eBay or craigslist for $200 and you can have the Rebel XS for $386 (in theory at least...)

you sell only one of the lens? i was trying to point out that you can have a rebel xs body for $386. or if you already own a canon dslr, sell it but keep the lens and upgrade to a XS for about the same price as your old camera.

I think I like the xsi w/ the kit lens and 55-250mm IS lens for $725 (or ~$140 more). What do you all think? I'm thinking of using it for family, vacation, and some sports pics. I'm thinking the extra focusing and the IS on the tele lens is worth $140 right?

People who can spend more and wondering about buying xsi might also consider t1i. Difference in image quality between xs and xsi is negligible (according to reviews on dpreview). However, if you want a camera for family and vacations, full HD video feature and DIGIC4 processor give an edge to t1i over these cameras. You can buy t1i from TigerDirect for $739 (http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/934796) and spend a little more for the lens.

Thanks for the info stricken, but at $740 for the body only and then having to purchase 2 lenses, it pushes it beyond my budget. I've also got an HF100 HD camcorder, so I don't need that in a dslr. With this in mind, would you think the XSI for $140 more and what I think is a better tele lens is worth it?

If you have the budget for XSI, I would say go for it. Since you also planning to use it for sporting events, it has a plus over xs on that area. As I am not sure about giving hyperlinking is ok here I will send you a pm for url of a page where features of both are compared.

for the tele lens the price is variety too...i mentioned the 55-250mmIS will cost about slightly more than $200,but you can still find one around 150 or even less on Amazon such as 70-300iii tele lens ...but everyone i asked told me that the IS function is very useful....

This seems like a good deal right?
Why is this thread not as popular as most DSLR threads?

Little confused is all. Otherwise I'm about ready to bite the bullet on this one.

The body and 18-55 IS lens are mediocre
The 75-300 lens and filter are crap

What would be a better choice in a dSLR body in this price range?
