Canon EOS Rebel T3i

So I think I'm almost about done on making a decision to buy a T3i (body only) rather than a T5i because I want a good quality lens. Majority of the pictures I take are landscape photos. Nature, sometimes sports, and a little bit of portraits. What I need help on is which lens would be perfect for me to purchase?
I wish to get the 24-70 L, but that's a little too pricey for me. I prefer something under $1000

From exactly what you indicated in your query, the 24-105mm f4 L is the lens for you, It is the best buy, bang for the buck, lens Canon has. If you can find a white box version, you can get it for $650-$750. An it is an "L" model.

If there are no white box version, which are identical with the exact same warranty from Canon, the lens sells in the

$1100-$1150 range.

It will not be quite as wide for your landscapes and not quite a long for your sports but it is the best compromise for both.

It will be great for portraits and general use. It is reasonably fast at f4 and remains constant.

Of course no one lens is going to do everything, "best".

Avoid cheap off-brand lenses.
