Looking for a deal on the new model Canon DIgital Rebel XT 8MP camera (with lens).
So far eBay seems to just list them at a few dollars less than retail!
The best deal I've found so far has been a customer appreciation 10% via Future Shop or Bestbuy on all digital cameras knocking the price down to about $1000.

So if anyone knows where this camera is to be had on the cheap I'd be more than pleased to hear!

Reputable seller, I've purchased gear from them before. ~$900 for the body only, and ~$1000 with the kit lens.

With the strong Canadian dollar, I'd opt for buying from the U.S. B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com)

USD$780 + USD$35 (shipping) = CAD$945 + 15% (tax @ the border) = CAD$1087 total.

The Canadian stores will be nearly $100 more, and you might get lucky and not have to pay the 15% tax, as they don't seem to charge on every shipment. I've only had to pay it once and I've received about seven or eight shipments recently that I thought would be taxed.

Thanks for the tips and the websites.
I'll review them now.

My parents are actually going on a bit of a roadtrip to the US of A so I could probably get them to pick up one of the deals for me and bring it across sans tax.

If anyone knows of any other great deals for this camera please let me know.
