[23:14] oh so is canon rebel r5 basically the same as canon eos 700d? [23:17] the internet suggests 18-55 is good for movies. [23:23] oh cannon r5i is the same as eos 700d, and canon t5 is the same as eos 1200d. dunno why they have different names. [23:25] s/r5i/t5i/ [23:25] oh cannon t5i is the same as eos 700d, and canon t5 is the same as eos 1200d. dunno why they have different names. [23:25] and t5 is way cheaper than t5i. [23:30] mtr 188.214.126.43 [23:30] oops :) [23:55] it was 28% off [23:55] so like a $150.99 discount [23:56] not much discount on the lenses though
