There is a fairly large difference in quality between the two. If it’s the normal rebel kit then it’s the 75-300 which in my opinion I’d opt to not get it. > > The 40D is a great camera and can be found for around $500 for the body alone in great shape ([http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1022637&highlight=40D](http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1022637&highlight=40D)). > > I’d get a 40D or Rebel (XTi, XS or XSi), an 18-55 IS and a 55-250 IS and you’ll have a killer combo for starting out. 75-300 this is the kit, some place online have had this whole kit as low as $500 I guess at some point.
