In this reminder they had several superzooms listed: The Canon XS40 for $400, the Canon XS30Is for $450 and the Canon SX1IS for $679. It seems that the most recent version, the XS40 is the cheapest and from there it works backwards...I can't believe the $679 price on the SX1IS...only 20 zoom and 10Mp compared to the others. Why such differences in price? jim I'm thinking it's simply because it was more expensive to begin with, since at the time it was cutting-edge. -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-

SX1 uses AA cells, and still takes a very good picture (though I mainly use mine for shooting from commercial aircraft at altitude these days). Jon

Yup...I remember seeing 10Ds and 20Ds for more than the 40D was selling for brand new at the time... -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-
