Whats the huge difference between the:
75-300 EF IS USM
and
75-300 EF USM III
EDIT: What are your guys recommendations on this. How useful is that IS.
The IS has a 1-mode stabalizer function. It's useful when shooting at slower shutter speeds. It uses gyros to detect vibration and then moves certain elements in the lens to compensate so that you wont get a bluury image from camera shake.
The L IS lenses such as the 100-400 have a 2-mode which is much better... but they are expensive.

Puts it right about what I think I can rationalize spending.
At least with a 10D you'll have the megapixels to back up a new lens purchase later on. I would have certainly gone that way had I not been on such a limited budget for my D30.
People are really forgeting the key here...photographer counts...I've seen people produce sh*tty images with a 10D+100-400L and great photos from D30+75-300 USM...

That's exactly my point for suggesting the 10D-there is enough features on it to grow into. Besides, the 10D's price has dropped a bit lately. I wish it was this low when I was upgrading! However, I am still quite satisfied with a D30

Yea, getting the 100-400L might not be a good idea if you can't even shoot a decent photo with a 75-300 :P

Thats what I don't understand. Why if you get a 10d does everyone expect you to have L glass??? Its the same image quality. ITS THE SAME SENSOR no matter what Wright says it is.
Well, that's strange...these photos don't look too disgraceful to me:
[photoid=317461]
300D + 75-300
[photoid=315158]
D30 + 75-300
It is not a bad lense, but with that lense you do not need a 10D. A 300D would be a better match.
I hate to be rude but you are making no sense what so ever. A 10D is a far better investment than a 300D down the road...no matter what the glass you put on it.
Why 300D...why not D60/D30 in this case?
The issue here is determining the best combo Mike can get for his money, taking into consideration he wants something that will be a semi-long term purchase...(DSLRs are never really long term purchases!)

That's because they think the 10D is a professional camera and you can't use an "el cheapo" lens like the 75-300 But seriously,the 10D is a better option in the long run than the 300D if you can afford it.

Well thanks to everyone.
Clovis pretty much gave me the options this morning and here's the final decision
Canon 10D
Canon 75-300 III USM
Scandisk Ultra 512
Total $1450
this will leave me some room at christmas time to maybe upgrade to some L glass.
As of now I'll use my HP for close stuff as it works pretty well in that area.
thanks again.
here are the links to the merchants in case anyone wants similar
