If you haven't bought one yet there has been crazy deals on the t3i because of price matching. There was some misprints for the T3 which many stores were honoring and selling for $399 with the 350 lens kit. I ended up going on craigslist and buying it off someone who got the deal but just thought I'd point it out.

I ended up buying a used Pentax k20d with the hopes of adding a second body at some point in the not to awful distant future.

Maybe you should buy a Sony so you can get a 70-300mm lens for $70 AND have image stabilization :p

Heck, I got a 100-400m lens for $83, and stabilization works perfectly.

The 400mm lens is a Vivitar Series 1. They seem pretty rare but I bought it because a review on some Pentax forum said it's decent for the price. Mine is useless at 400mm... very blurry (soft is an understatement), so it's more like a 350mm lens. But it looks cool and is great for impressing tourists.
