Hey all, looking to buy a nice Canon soon. I can't decide on the XS or the XSi, or trying to even find an XTi. I know all are great but I'm new and learning to find what lens to get as I heard the 18-55 isn't the greatest that Canon has to offer. Couple questions. I'm finding just a few websites that offer the XSi body for $380 which is $420 less than I can get it in town. What do you all think is the scoop on this confused

I have been saving up and can spend about a thousand total on whatever I can including accessories etc. What would you canon lovers go for?

Appreciate any input!

Muzzy

We have all asked this question at one time including my self. I will help you. if the price seems to good to be true it is. There are a lot of online vendors out there that really take peopel for a ride. Since we can't post any links here that aren't sponsers, I will tell you to do a search for the following: Canoga Camera, B&H, and resellar ratings .com.

At Resellar ratings you can research the various online vendors adn hear the horror stories of unscroupulous vendors. Many whoe operate multiple online companies to Appear like they are every where. I am sure that you will find the right deal if you search. I have been quite happy with Canonga and B$H. I have used canoga almost exclusivly for the last 2 years.

PS I have the Canon XTi and I love it. For Lense, a good walking around lense would be the 17-55 IS USM or the 17-85 IS USM. there is also a 28-105 out there that I heard is a good walking around lense but I personally don't find that 28mm is wide enough for my particular artistic taste.

Pauls advice is dead on about the camera dealers on the web. I use B&H but have heard nothing but good about Canoga and Adorama. All are Canon dealers who can take care of you if you have warranty issues. I use the 17-85 and it is a pretty sharp and well built lens.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
