When I am looking for cheap deals, I usually go to ebay.

+1.
Honestly the pricing of eBay India is stupid, most of them.
However, if you can then try International eBay, heaven and hell price difference. Stick with the Power Sellers/Trusted sellers only though.

Uhm, no. I got my 600D fro 33k back when I couldn't spot it anywhere else south of 38.5k
I still find lenses routinely cheaper at ebay like the Canon 55-250 for 12.something with VAT paid bill.

^^ what I am saying is there is nothing wrong with 2 lens combo
my 55-200 vr lens can take nice portraits with great bokeh...much better then what tammy 17-50 f2.8 can take
soo a combo of 18-55 and 55-300 will cover landscape+portraits+street+birding wildlife easily
I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with a 2 lens combo - if you actually need it. What you need is something you figure out through use, which is why I am recommending that noobs first use the camera with kit lens, and see what kind of photographs they actually take and then decide what to go in for rather than wasting money on equipment that isn't going to give them maximum benefit. Even for portraits, beginners are typically going to benefit more with a good flash and tripod than a longer focal length lens.

@ game-freak: Why not hold back the purchase of the 70-300 right now. That'll help your wallet as well. Why hurry?

@sujoy: Of course.. I am not finding fault with the combination at all
I am just a bit concerned that with so many lenses in hand he may not make the best use of any single lens which would be counter-productive. I mean with the wonderful 70-300 at hand I fear that the prime may be left to eat dust, which'd be a tragedy given he is just moving into DSLRs. I have found out through personal use that we learn a lot of things when we are constrained by our gear - like the art of composition to make up for an inability to zoom etc :>
