I'm going to Wegmans today. What should I buy?

Regular. I'm not a fan of the crunch berries, adding the trix makes it sweeter. -

Very nice, I'll add that to my list. I'm a fan of the Capt. Crunch and Trix mix. -
Easy, just make her front door smaller.

And maybe things aren't always as they seem. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/p.../808240329/1007 Sure, it's possible she may just be defending him as a gesture of gratitude for all that he's done, but I tend to believe her. I never thought what the guy did was all that bad in the first place. We have no idea how she likes to be coached. Some people like to be kicked in the ass. -
I would like to say F**K U NEW YORK STATE
Buford T. Justice replied to ACor58's topic in Off the Wall Archives
And like anybody does? They've had the law in NY for years that if you buy anything in another county, you must claim it and pay the difference in sales tax from your own county. Nobody claims it. -

As long as it makes you lead a better life and you don't harm anyone in the process, why should anyone care? -

Newegg put the sales tax in place right before I started building my new computer. That really sucked. -

Bills preseason or the olympics

Depends on what events are on, but I'll probably watch the Olympics. Preseason games are better on the Tivo. -

Have you checked out the new search engine?
Buford T. Justice replied to erynthered's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Firefox has a plug-in that gives you a thumbnail of the full page, not just one image. As for the layout of cuil, it's horrible. After one search I can already tell I'm not going back. -
Wait a month or two. Trying to grow new grass in summer Texas heat isn't a good idea, you'll need to water the hell out of it. Seed in the fall, the roots will have 7-8 months to establish.

I really can't say, I've never used either one of those specific lenses. Even though I don't think they are generally as good, I am a big fan of Sigma. I think they make quality lenses for the price and if that is all your budget allows right now then I wouldn't hesitate to give it a shot. Go read user and pro reviews of those lenses if you can find them, there is generally a lot of good online feedback for lenses. The 70-300 that Fez linked to would be a great lens to have in such a short length. I have a 70-300 I mainly use for sports but it has a longer body and can be a pain to use as a walk-around lens so I generally leave it at home but find myself missing great shots because of that. If you own a 17-55mm and 70-300mm, you'll have the right lens for pretty much any shot you'll want to take. I also own a fixed 50mm which really taught me to use myself to frame the shot and not the lens.

In short, yes, they tried to scam you. This is very common amoung online camera dealers. They offer a rock bottom price, and call you with a hard upsell before they ship and many times won't ship unless you buy vastly overpriced extras. Always research stores before buying, especially these camera stores. I recommend http://www.bhphotovideo.com/. They get all of my business. They are priced middle of the road, sometimes you can find great deals but their customer service is top notch. As for the lens, while I have a couple Sigma's and they are good lenses, I've never owned a Sigma lens that is better than a Cannon lens. They may exist, I just haven't used one. f/2.8 is better then f4 for shooting low light and getting a faster shutter speed or creating a shallower DOF, but as you found out, the price for that lens is outragous. This is a reasonable price. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/4634..._2_8_EX_DC.html You can get THIS, which I would consider a superior lens for cheaper than theya re trying to sell the Sigma on that site.\ Can I ask why you have your heart set on the 40D? Do you have a lot of photography experience? You may be better off getting the 30D as you get much more value and you can buy better lenses with the savings. The lenses make the photo, not the body. A experienced photographer can get better shots with a Rebel XT and first rate lens then a weekend warrior can get with a EOS-1Ds Mark III and budget lens.
