I've been looking for a good deal on a rebel XT for awhile. I'm still thinking though, I've been told it's best to buy the body only and buy lens seperately. BUT, I'm not too sure what type of lens I would actually need. I'm just a mom that loves to take action shots of my kids playing sports. Not a professional, but want good quality photos! Any good deals on the lens??

Oops, I reposted this on Deal Finder. Sorry.

If I did not have sooo many Minolta lens I would opt for it but I think I will go with the Minolta 5D

For what you want/need, I would just buy the kit (lens and body). It's the basic lens anyway, nothing special. It would work perfect for what you want to use the camera for.

The kit lens isn't bad. I have it. However, if I was going to do it over I might do the body separately and go for the IS lens, but it's probably not really necessary at this point. I'm still learning the camera now. When I learn it better if I want more lenses, I'll save up for them. The nicer lenses go from anywhere from 150-1500 or something. They can get VERY expensive, but I don't think it's practical for typical family use. You can always upgrade your lens later.

 

I bought mine at Costco and it was a great deal. I paid about 800 and got the body, kit lens, a telephoto lens, and a photo printer. I did, however, have to wait quite a while for almost $300 in rebates.
