Edward,

 

Thanks for the info on the kit. I use the same monitor as you and have been looking at these products.

They haven't stopped selling Canon lenses. However, it looks like nobody is selling the 70-300mm IS lens at this point. I tried to order one today and every site I hit has "out of stock" or "backordered". I suppose they're cleaning out the defective serial numbers.

Did anyone notice there's no actual description of the problem? I'm curious as to what caused it. Maybe the engraving of the "0" or "1" in the third position causing an imbalance of weight? ;)

I recently purchased the RS-60E3 for general use - night time "bulb" shots in particular. With the XT you need to hold the shutter release down - for long exposures this could get annoying! :) The RS-60E3 has a "lock" for the button so you don't have to hold down the remote button either, and you won't need to touch the camera which could introduce possible "shake" effects.

 

The RC-5/RC-1 wireless remotes need to be used from in front of the camera due to sensor position - at least that's what my research and discussions have proven. Not really a good option for macro work.

I haven't looked at ACDsee in a long time, but my wife and I like using iView Media Pro. [ http://www.iview-multimedia.com/mediapro/ ]

 

It saves/displays the exif info and you can assign keywords, locations, people, etc. to your photos for easy searching. Maybe ACDsee can do this as well, I'll have to check it out.

Wasn't sure which thread of yours to reply in, so hopefully you see this. :)

 

I just received my Rebel XT kit today! I ordered from somewhere not too many people associate with camera equipment - Newegg.com! I buy a lot of my computer stuff from there, and they had a better price for the XT kit as well. Not a huge difference, but some. :)

Thanks for the feedback everyone, exactly what I was looking for.

 

I would buy it new from B&H, but for that price I could also get the Rebel XT with Canon 18-55mm Lens and still have $100. :)

 

Although, I do like the fact of getting it new with warranty vs being the 3rd owner. :\

Thanks for the response. Why would the lenses disappoint me? I thought the Sigma lenses are usually good quality? Or do you mean as far as focus specifications and zoom?

Not advertising, I'm looking to purchase and wanted to ask the Canon

folks. Is this a good deal for a used 10D? The seller doesn't know

the shutter actuation count.

I'm looking to upgrade from my Minolta HTsi film SLR. It's probably

more camera than I know what to do with, but I want to learn.
