These are $639 in-store if you have a local Costco. By the way, I will double check on my next trip, but I am pretty sure the literature on their camera case said that the lenses were IS.

If the lens from Staples is a IS lens, than that is the better deal.
Tack on one or two coupon codes and this is now a SUPER HOT DEAL.

Staples Link (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=74%2C271%2C376,4111&webid=760010&affixedcode=WW) $448.82

Using two coupon codes for another $30.00 off, brings the price down to $418.82. I'm going to confirm the IS lens before I waste the coupon codes. The enlarged photo shows a IS lens but.....

The Staples XS kit is not IS... it comes with the non-IS lens.

It's been talked about many times in the other XS link, it's NON-IS, picture is wrong.

Staples sales NOT IS lens as SKU#760010 even the picture and flyer shows IS.

I just returned it yesterday.

yeah, but if you tack on a 2 dollar item to make it $450 and use 3 x $20 coupons...
wouldn't a non is lens still be worth the body?
and sell that lens for like $40.
get a used 50mm for like $80
so in the end.... smells like a steal...

Future Shop had it with an IS lens, a battery grip, extra battery and a bag for $449 during boxing week sale. That was an excellent deal. I snapped one.
