I was looking at getting a rebel xti since circuit city has the body only on sale for 549.99 or with whatever lens they give u for 639.99....i can get another 5% off for using my chase freedom card...so should i pick up the body only and then get another lens? and which lens should i get?

if you're planning on getting an xti, get it from bhphoto. i get all my gear from there and when buying online you dont get charged for tax. they sell the XTi with the kit lens for $592.95. even with overnight shipping, its still less than what you'd pay in circuit city with tax.

if i were you, id get the body only ($519.95) and get the 18-55mm IS lens (basically the kit lens but with Image Stabilizer) for $174.95:

its a good combination and you will definitely enjoy it.
