Happy October 15th -- Post Your Rebate Dreams!

Happy October 15th Canon Rebate Day

It's the Canon 30D for me...B+H at 7:PM tonight

Yay!! I can't believe it's finally here.

A 30D sounds great, and perhaps a 24-70 f/2.8L to go with it!

Yep, the 70-200 f2.8L IS is my new baby in a couple of days!!

I'm going to get the 70-200 f/2.8 IS and the 430ex. Time cannot go by fast enough.

Gr8outdrsmn, thats exactly what i was gonna get, but I couldnt afford both so Im just getting the 70-200.

Long L lens for me plus a TC, first thing next week...

Soon as possible - 30D & 17-40L. I cannot wait. My wife told me that it has to stay under $1,500 US so with the rebates that is what I have. Otherwise I would have went for the 24-70L. That will come later.

What does this thread mean? Canon rebate day?

Canon double rebates start today! :^)

30D + 50mm f/1.4 - hopefully that is a good starter combination.

Getting it from OneCall, price matching it to B&H.

Ignore

Gosh I wish I had some money! haha

Ive just had to buy a new toilet and have my bathroom wall nearly demolished to get the old one out!

Id have prefered a new lens but hey that is life! haha

The 70-200 2.8L IS is in the near future. I am selling my car and buying a cheaper one to get this lens, yes I have a problem.

Hahahahaha lmao!!!

My first "L" purchase is in my shopping cart right now...

(these are for a 20D)

17-40 L
24-105 L IS
70-200 f4 L

My only reservations before I hit "Buy Now!"....

1. Still unsure if the 17-40 is needed since I have 10-22 and I will have the 24-105 (or 24-70 if I change my mind for the 34th time). I do take many landscape pictures and have a feeling I would use the 17-40 often (and it would be nice not to have to change lenses near the 20-24 range).

2. If I don't get the 17-40, I would have room in the budget to get the 70-200 2.8 (non IS) instead. However, I am unsure of these as I don't use my 75-300 IS often as it is.

3. Still want to have a good low light / portrait lens in my bad (other than my nifty fifty). 85 1.8? or 24-70 instead of the 24-105? I think I would prefer the extended range of the 24-105 over the 2.8 in that focal range.

Or really start over and get the 70-200 2.8 IS and a Tamron 17-50 (can't decide how important the 50-70 focal range is for me... I think I will go outside and see)...

I waited a long time for the 15th to get here- please help me rationalize my purchase
