Well, it appears that my RC-1 remote and my, as Canon calls it, "Gadget Bag 1-EG" got backordered like a bunch of others I've heard talked about on here. The supposed good news though is that they are supposed to ship in 3-4 business days. YAY!!! :D :D :D

yeah, the rc5 works on the rebel, so the canon store has told me, and that the rc1 is being discontinued...or actually has been, so its probably not on backorder, just hard to find one

Figures, that'd be just my luck, and then CDW probably won't tell me that it's been discontinued for a month, blah, blah, blah.

On a good note though, I did get my lower grip yesterday :lol:

I should hope you got the BG-E1; the BG-ED3 is for the 10D. :)

Is there a 3rd party version or something?

Now, you've gone and done it Blinking8s, now I'm going to have to go take a picture of myself with my new baby! ;)

Thanks for showing the difference between the 2 Canucks. I wonder if there are any "photo quality" differences between the 10D and the DRebel or if it is mainly a construction and features set of differences.
