    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Canon Rumors - Your best source for Canon news, rumors and creators

OK, so I am new to this DSLR thing. Not sure if this is the right place to write this.
I am interested in getting one, and was trying to do some research.
In doing so I saw all these rumors things and not sure if I should be buying one yet.

I have an offer for Canon 7d with 28-135 lens for $1300 brand new.
To me this seem like a great deal, Amazon has this kit for $1699.
However, I do not want to get a 7d and next week comes a replacement of it.
But I also don't want to miss out on a deal like this.

My intention is to buy the kit, maybe sell the lens, and buy either a 24mm or 35mm f1.4L.
Or am I better off getting the 24-70mm F2.8L as my first lens?

Purpose of the purchase is mostly shooting around the house, wife, kids, and so on.
Maybe take it out and shoot some landscaping as well.

Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks
