the 15-85 is a great lens for start. You can get the 7D in kit with the 15-85.

If you want cheaper and more zoom, get a 18-200.

Good combo would be:

canon 17-55 is f2.8 as prime lens

and

canon 70-200 f4 (is version if you can afford it)

With 2 lens you are done!

And for the future I would add a canon 60 mm f2.8 macro or the sigma 70 mm 2.8 macro. Macros are fun lenses and very sharp, can be good portraits lenses and can catch details.

Hope it helps.


yes these are much better in image quality, but they are several thousand dollars together

Whats safer in terms of waranty?
If im spending x amount of money on something like this i wanna be sure it'll last.

maybe buying from a local dealer might be safer..
