Can anyone recommend a legitimate web store. The prices are better, but are the stores OK?

Scottwdw said:The $609 price is with the 28-80MM zoom which equates to a 42-120MM zoom in non-digital camera lingo. I would go with the 18-55MM zoom kit, it's like $40 more but the range equates to 27-82MM zoom which gives you a wide angle to portrait range. JMO. YMMV.
christinadei said:Okay, that just confused me. it seems like the first one has more of a range, 42-120 vs. 27-82. I was wondering why this one was less, but I am new to all of this so i don't really understand.
Scottwdw said:When I bought my Digital SLR, I already had lenses. One is a 28-70mm zoom which on my DSLR acts like a 42-105MM zoom. This is because the sensor in digital cameras is smaller then the size of traditional 35mm file.
I have found working with the 28-70MM zoom, I wish I had more wide-angle capabiliites. I am currently looking at replacing this lens with an 18-70MM Zoom to give me back what I lost when I switched from my film SLR to my digital.
Sorry to be confusing.
christinadei said:Thanks for your help. I ended up ordering a kit from ebay that included the 18-55 and 55-200 lenses. I do apprecite it!
