 | Canon Rebel XTi 10.1 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 17-85mm Zoom Lens
Buy new: $949.99 This is an upgraded version from the digital rebel xt (350D) and has come a long way since the original rebel (300D).
The bestseller for the year 2007 and since I had this camera for a good year I know it's a winner in it's category.

| Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens
