Default replacement ordered

I ended up ordering a camera tonight I got tired of looking around etc. I ordered it because of the deal I got on the lens. I got the Canon Eos 50D 15.1 MP Digital SLR camera with the 28-135mm lens kit. I also got a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Eos cameras. Camera should work great for the track.

i'll be heading back there again. I went last week, but my camera was stolen right before I left. It sucked stayed in San Diego, Laguna, Costa Mesa, and LA with no camera. Was out on the pier over by balboa peninsula for sunset and it looked awsome

I was going to drop that amount anyway. Was tired of looking and going back and forth between the D90, 40D, 50D, and D300. I basically ruled the D90 out once I felt it in person compared to the 40/50D, the quality was night and day (plastic body compared to magnesium). I kept on thiinking D300 or 50D with some extras. I ended up ordering the 50D, the L series lens, 8gb extreme 3 card, 3 piece lens kits for both lenses, camera/laptop backpack, cleaning kit, hood for the lenses, extra battery for under th eprice of a D300 with the 18-200mm lens. I went with everyones advice spend more money on a good lens

I have a camera/laptop backpack and it's awesome. Tons of storage space! Very inconspicuous too.
