I have finally enough money to get a 30D body only or 350D with lens from Pakistan :wink.
But i asked a friend here he told me not to get 350D/400D. Personaly i loved large size of 30D and 100,000 shutter life
then what about lens? 17-70 sigma 17-40L looks good is 17-40L f4 really better then sigma's picture quality and worth extra $$$ ? will it make decent head shots ?
Btw i am not in rush and nothing to shoot for next 4 or 5 months and can wait for next 12 months too ...
I think i will be visiting this type of place more frequent if i got a dslr
Any thoughts ?

About lens - it depends how much will left in your pocket ?
Maybe Tamron 17-50/2.8 ?
XTi, G9, 16-35/2.8L, 100-300USM, 70-200/4L, 19-35, 580EX II, CP-E3, 500/8 ...
DSC-R1, HFL-F32X ... ; AG-DVX100B and stuff ... (I like this 10 years old signature :^)
Here is an example of what I took with the 17-70mm:
Spot metering.
A proper 2 control wheel setup.
Arguably better high ISO than either the Xt or Xti.
Much faster FPS and larger buffer- if you might need that.
Top panel LCD- I use it a lot.
Better VF
Etc....

The 17-40 f/4 is an excellent lens, one of my best purchases to date, and is a wonderful all-rounder on a crop body. it practically lives on my camera. but it makes for terrible head shots - portraits that is. You've really got to get up in someone's face, and with that aperture, you don't get much in the way of background blurring. But, barring that, I can't say bad about the lens.
