you only need one lens - 24 - 70mm 2.4 - $1500 - get the uv filter to protect the lens $80 - over and out

enough zoom on there? I played with the 300mm in bestbuy and liked the zoom.

or does it eat up that much quality?

thanks

And go to B&H, you'll save $$.

quality depends on more than the zoom capability.. the optics (number of elements in the lens and precision), and AF features of the lens determine quality really. Generally speaking, the cheaper the lens, the more you won't like it. What you are paying for mostly in a 24-70mm 2.4 is the fast f/2.4 aperature, which will get you more depth of field and better under low-light conditions. Cheaper lenses are typically around f/4.5 or so, which can limit your options. General rule of thumb: spend a good amount of money on your body, and as much as you can on your lens

another good one on budget is the Tamron 28-300mm F/3.5 XR Di lens which can be found much cheaper than listed on tamron's site. It's a really versatile lens. Some people don't like Tamron lenses, I have two and have little problems with them, I like the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 lens I have works great!

What are you going to be using the camera for? Shooting family, porn, landscapes, natural life.

This will determine the lens you buy.
