Amazon/B&H for me, exclusively for new equipment. There's actually a stellar deal right now on Canon SLRs, I posted it over in the deals section. You'll save a few hundred bucks over waiting till after Christmas.

Getting lenses used is a great way to save money too, as apparently Mandragora wants to help you find out, haha.

There is only one place to shop for photographic equipment and that's B&H Photo. If you are lucky enough to actually be able to walk into the store it is amazing!

B&H also has AMAZING customer service. If you ever have questions about gear, just call up and ask.

Lucky enough is right, I've tried to go about 4 times now and each time they're closed. Too many damn holidays!

I work across the street so it's no problem for me. :D It is a nightmare on my wallet though. B&H is owned by Orthodox Jews so they are closed Friday afternoons and all day Saturday as well as on the many Jewish holy days.

so, in your guys opinions..should Zombie buy..

Canon Digital Rebel XSI 12MP Digital SLR Camera (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0012YA85A/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance)

and

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-55-250mm-4-0-5-6-Telephoto-Digital/dp/B0011NVMO8/ref=amb_link_85941951_2?ie=UTF8&me=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=hero-quick-promo&pf_rd_r=0JGC6ZSVJC1MHSV8839Y&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=497712351&pf_rd_i=B0012YA85A)

for $630? it seems like a great price to Zombie, but this is his first real digital camera...
