Hello there everyone! I am debating getting the 30D or the 400D and I recenlty noticed the rebate program available for the 30D. I just have a quick question.
From what I understand, I can double my rebate on the 30D (and the lens) if I buy the 30D kit that comes with the 17-85 mm lens. The rebate form mentions it in the fine print. My question is, however, is that a decent lens? I'm not a professional, but I do love to take pictures, especially of my family. If I get the 400D, I'll just be getting the kit with the 17-55mm lens. Since the 30D kit with that lens isn't eligible for double rebate, I'd lean more towards the kit with the 17-85mm or the 30D body alone and purchase another eligible lens to receive double reabate. I hope this all makes sense. I cannot spend much more than the cost of the 30D kit with 17-85mm lens, so even though I'd like a super-nice lens, I can't afford it at this time.
What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!
