4) Other (Post a link to a better deal)
I'm leaning towards the Buydig offer, but the other two are tempting also. I haven't heard much on the 28-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Auto Focus Lens. I've also heard the 18-55mm kit lens is sub-par. I'm thinking it should be fine for me as a beginner though.
I'm not worried about the size of the CF card, I can always pick up a larger one later. B&H is offering the highest quality card, both in size and brand. B&H also seems to be the most reputable site, but I've heard they don't always have the best deals. The free 1-2 day shipping would be a big plus to me, I'd want the camera as soon as possible.
Which do you think would be the best for me?
Thanks in advance!
