I would like to purchase a DSLR. Please note that this is my first DSLR camera and I am a poor graduate student so I am foregoing almost 6 months of warm dinner to purchase this.
I have decided to buy the Canon EOS 60D (body only) as my first camera. However I am a little confused about the lens I should buy as I get a lot of suggestions.
I know I want to get a prime lens (more specifically Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens) for my close range and portrait mode photography. But I will also like to buy a zoom lens for capturing natural scenes and group photos and maybe the occasional Buckeye football game.
Can anyone suggest a good lens that will serve all around without substantially overdrawing my bank account ? Something in the $250-$300 range will be fine.
Or should I just go for the stock 18-55mm Lens that Canon gives with a lot of its camera.
