As you guys know, Canon just presented the new Canon 30D at the PMA (i think it's in Cali, another reason why i wanna pack up and movie out west) so anyways, i was on http://www.fredmiranda.com and saw this forum for an amazon deal with the canon 30D and the new EF-s 17-55 lens F2.8 for a total of 1499.00 which is the wrong pricing because the new len along is worth 1000. so anyways, i got my confirmation and everything and i think amazon has since taken down the link.
so i am wondering if you guys know any regulations regarding the mispricing policy at amazon?

Amazon has the right to cancel due to typo errors... I've had a price mistake cancelled on me before (Canon 20D for $500, I think.)
Aren't Canon's professional lenses the EF-L ones? It seems that the 17-55/2.8 would be a professional one, but yet only is an EF-S?
The new lens is making me itch to sell my 17-40mm/4L

wow mike, you have the 17-40L, that's awesome lens according to most.
i don't the budget for any L lense yet.
Yes your are correct, the 17-55 is EF-S not L, and yes it's extremely overpriced because .....they can... Some people say that due to the costruction of EF-S lense, its not possible to have it L but will produce L like quality. I don't know how much truth is in that statement.

Some sites are stating that the new 17-55 is so good, it is better than some of Canon's L-series lenses... $1,200 though!
I'm thinking of selling my 20D and getting a 30D. Maybe I'll sell the 17-40 and get the 17-55... I have been looking for a lens with this zoom range, but none were offered beside the f/3.5-5.6 that comes with the stock. Now that the 17-55 has a f/2.8... Tempting. It seems like a "perfect" lens for everyday use.
Total cost of all of this? $2,500? yikes! This alone is making me back off because I haven't been able to get income for my photographs yet.
Know of anyone who may be interested in using some of my pictures for anything? (ie. postcards)
