What kind of lens should i get if i am interested in buying a Canon Digital Rebel XTi?

I'm interested in buying a nice, easy to use camera. I've done a little research and the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi seems to be my best bet. I'm a beginner at photography,so I'm kind of confused on the proper lens to buy. I don't really need a lens with like 50X zoom. Just looking for a standard beginners lens for a good price. Can anyone help?


Answer
the kit lens 18-55mm is cheap - but it has bad reviews.

you could go for the stabilised 17-85mm zoom, but that's a bit more expensive. But at least you'll have as much zoom as a compact!

if you're a beginner, and assuming you don't have an infinite budget, I don't think you can go for any lenses of the "L" family - these are very expensive, professional grade lenses from Canon, and they will cost a good deal more than the Digital Rebel XTi itself!


Final note: the Digital Rebel XTi is at the end of its life. To judge by replacement cycle, it seems VERY likely that Canon will announce a replacement next Jan at a big show, or at the latest in Feb. This will likely have 12mp (vs. 10mp), and will also offer "live view" (ie you'll be able to compose shots on the screen like on a compact, which can be useful in quite a few situations). So if you must buy an XTi today, make sure you get a DEEP discount.


Alternatively, you could try to look for older possibly higher-end models, where the successor is already out (rather than still to be announced). For example, these days, the semi-pro 10mp Nikon D80, w the kit lens 18-70mm, will go for say 1'200 dollars, which is comparable to what you'd pay for a Canon XTi w the sabilised 17-85mm lens. And the D80 is a much superior camera in many respects.

Hope this helps
