I love my camera Canon EOS 40D with Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens. I got this camera from my father as my birthday present. Once you have the basic camera, then you want to have a great lens. Then I bought the famous Canon L series Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens. This lens price is higher than the camera’s price. However, the picture quality is better than lens kit. You will amaze. 🙂
