So, I went to best buy at like 8:00 this morning. Everything I wanted was still in stock, the lines weren't that bad (10 mins?) and I had front row parking. I was outside and in my car by 8:30. Why do people bother camping out?

I went to GF last year at like 7am and everything remotely good was gone, but we drove by the night before at like 8pm and the line outside wrapped along the front, and all the way down one of the sides, so i guess that mite be why.

Did anyone get any good deals??

Also picked up a MicroSD card with adapters for $20 at Best Buy online. Need to find another SD card though for the camera now...

edit:

I need to quit spending money on this shit. Ordered another SD card for the camera...

You should make a camera thread or something...instead of whoreing a BF one.

you are whoring this thread more then we are. kthanxbye.
it may not be directly talking about BF, but it evolved from what i was going to buy on BF, and now decided its better to wait a couple days to kick aroudn the bush more.

EOS30D, Tamron 28-75mm, aluminum hard case....

I keep saying I should because I hardly shoot anymore....

BUT, I keep telling myself I'll have time (and GSR usually talks me out of it) so I probably won't.

you sellin something?

Remember the camera is only part of the equation.

You would be better off spending money on a good lens and buying a used rebel xt than you would be buying that kit.

:werd:

I've seen the fantastic side of cheap glass.

Shitty color saturation, some of them are far from sharp...

If you get shitty glass you could just as well get a point and shoot.

mmm. havent bought yet. Trying to convince parents, They dont think its worth the money to spend a bit extra for the kit. cause we have lenses from my step dads camera has a old 35mm SLR, camera is probably 15years old, as are the lens which IIRC are

looking at a canon rebel XTi, 18-55 and 75-300 lenses, case, card, 2 tripods, lens filters, .5 wide angle lens, and some other crap that comes with it for right at $800(deal is off ebay/digital shopping network) VS. spending around $640ish for just the camera.

I cringed every time I thought about buying one of those 'ebay' kits...

I wish I remembered where a buddy ordered from, but he ended up getting a bunch of 'crap' and fought to get what he was supposed to.

So... I've got such a damn headache from bouncing between sites waiting for big deals...
Watching amazon, circuit city, buy.com, sears....

Thinking about finally picking up a cheap P&S camera... Sick of only having the 30D to shoot with...
