I went to so many different places, but finally, found that Best Buy had the best deal, though their staff was ultimately useless in telling me why there were only kits and not just the camera alone. Also their staff could not tell me the difference between EF 50-250 IS and EF 70-300 (no IS), functionally. Anyway, after researching a lot, I finally got the Canon t2i with 18-55, 50-250 IS and camera bag for $949 + tax.</span><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">

I thought going from G7 (semi dslr) to full dslr would be easy, but it turns out, t2i is a control freaks' paradise.</span><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">
