      This is the second time in a row that the listing is for the XSi and the link is to the XS. These are two VERY different cameras!

      Come on guys! You know it wouldn't get the clicks if he listed it as the XS!

      Ben's is ass now. If you use this as your primary site for deals your really missing out.

      A very good entry level camera with a decent lens. I have this and I love it. The price is good too, especially when you get this from bing.com. More than enough for newbie.

      Thats exactly what I said yesterday. Way to keep it fresh.

      At least its $35 cheaper this time.

      #4. its hard to tell you here because Ben filters other deal site names. One of them is bacon bacon dot n e t (see? And I even s p a c e d out the letters.)

      lets see.. flick (replace F with S) steals (replace ST with D) . net Get it?

      Canon, Nikon, or Pentax? Is the quality of each such that it's just personal preference?

      Number nine.. Number nine.. Number nine.. Number nine.... Sorry.. Flashback...

      As far as I know the T1i is the one that does video, and HD at that. Im not sure if any g the others offer video at all.

      XS/XSi does not have video. XSi is a slightly better camera than the XS (if you really need a few more AF points, spot metering and faster RAW burst), but if the difference is more than say $100 or so between the two, the XS is a good deal. I just picked up the XSi for $579 at Newegg last week, which is about the best I've seen it anywhere. $490 is decent for the XS, but Amazon has had it around $470 w/ free shipping in the past (currently $499). Oh, and thanks for the link, #7.

      Squid, now you move to spelling, grammar, punctuation and what else? Focus on the topic!

      What topic are we talking about anyway?

      Go T1i like I did. Get it at B&H. It's worth it in the end.

      #17, why? Because you said so? Youll have to expound upon that.
