Is dell in trouble? They seem to be selling stuff lately at a steep discount.

The XTi is now last years model.

burp Dell ships soooo slowly these days. I canceled my last two orders with them because of the delays. Additionally, they screwed me on a rebate. Dell gets none of my business now.

Great deal. Not gonna find something that takes better pictures for less than that.

arghhhhh!! i jumped all over this... i was actually eyeing the rebel xt for $449 on amazon... but today, basically for the same price, i'm getting the xti.. i dont care its last year's model.. cause if i wanted this year's model, i'd be paying $700 for a camera.. i'm paying $450 for one that's 10mp.. i won't be blowing up any pictures bigger than 8x10 so this is a great camera for me... woohoo!!

Should I go for the kit or just body only? This would be my first DSLR!!! HELP!

go for it! great deal!

if u get the body and lens separate.. for the same lens and body.. it would cost you $75 more... so i would say.. get the kit...

And just like that the deal is over!

#6 - If you enjoy being disappointed or plan on taking mediocre photos, get the kit.

i was 20mins to slow!

Better feature set than the Nikon D40x. Nikon is good, but Nikon cripples the D40 series, unlike Canon who does not on the Rebel XT series.

And do not get the kit lens, it's junk. Take your money and put it towards a better lens.

#11, erm... buy IS lenses?

I got the $319 deal. However when I log on and checked out, it's become $489.

No deal.

This terrible. I'd got it and lost it.

Must be a pricing mistake, same thing here, $489 now. Any code Ben?

#11, bacon, links or I call your "several companies" selling at that price bullshit. Or are you talking about the bait&switch shops? in that case, you are a dumb turd.

yep - must have been for a limited time only - 489 - wow - saved another 300 for the upcoming depression

sigh i wanted to get one of these or the d40, missed the deals again
