Those are same camera two differnt prices, the second one includes 6 batterys, extra grip, memory card AND a zoom lense. Being the best deal.

Here are a few lenses i was thinking about because you cant film everything on a zoom lense :

This lense has no zoom but has very shallow DOF ( meaning forground is sharp and crisp in focas, but the background is blurred ) This is one im lookinfg at for later on, not a necessity but cheap so just an idea for more orignal shots.

this is the best "Do everything" lense.

This is also a very good "do everything" lens. It doesnt zoom as far so if we cant get the package with the zoom lense then the link above ( canon 28 - 105 ) would be better.

How ever if we can score the zoom package then those two lenses have all base's coverd!

Trying to keep this all under 1000$ if possable ( 700 for camera and 300$ for lense )

I have a tripod already and will be buying a 50mm prime and flycam for my birthday in february.

The T2i is going to be a sweet entry level camera. If I were you I'd buy the body by itself and then buy the canon 50mm 1.8 for a good fast lens for action and for good DOF shots. And then the 28-105 should cover you for general photography. It's tough to get a really good set of lenses while keeping a reasonable budget. If you can afford the IS (image stabilization) lenses I would go for them. They take really good pictures even with a fairly small aperture, without having to spend the money for a f/2.8 lens

I have the 50mm canon and for the money it's the best. Perfect for low light situations.
