FInally ordered my Rebel XT!!!

Yeah, I ordered it tonight from dell, $713 - 100 MIR = $613!
(Would have been $584 after rebates, but they charged me $28 tax )

They had a good deal going on today that I saw on www.slickdeals.net . 20% off, then buy a $35 off code from ebay for $1 (you can get them everyday I believe, they only work for 1 day though, so buy one the day you need it)!

Cant wait to get it, I ordered a black one with the kit lens
I gave my dad $500, still owe him $113, (he'll get the MIR)...
THANKS DAD!!!


EDIT: Now I just need money for accessories, case, CF card (I have a 512mb), lenses!
Free 3-5 Shipping, so I guess it will be here next week. Just in time for the summer

Where did you find the 20% off coupon? The only 20% Dell coupon I could find on that site was for Finance & Accounting Software.

I received the $35 off code in the mail today, so I'd like to price out some of the lenses on my wish list... if I can also get 20% off.

try amazon- their price was better early today

Look 2 down at:

It was limited to 550 people, I forgot when it ends though, and its for things over $300, and its stackable with $35 off code!

The price at BH Photo for the XT with kit went up like $20 today!

Dont remember if I said it in my 1st post but that was $613 for the kit lens

Congrats on the purchase!

Thanks. It's only good on the Rebel, I was hoping that it would also work on lenses, but no such luck.

It is a good deal... the Rebel also went up about $20 today at Adorama.

Here are the details from Dell...

Congrats on the new camera and having a cool dad

Enjoy your new toy ... I have a 350D (=) and I'm very satisfied of it; my only advice: it's small, so you'll get a better grip and balance using the battery grip

Can I talk to your Dad, Aaron? I would like to get a 20D.

Seriously, congrats on the new equipment. We can't wait to see some of your shots.

Congrats, I am soon to get a rebel xt as well, but I found it for 519 - 100 = 419 using froogle.com (geniuscameras.com)...​something seems a little fishy.

I'd bet that $519 is the price after rebate, if so then it's really $619. Sometimes they take stuff out of the box, like the battery & charger & then charge you extra for them. One Co. I called wanted to charge me $150 for a battery that should have been included with the camera!

You really should read this review before ordering from that company.

Aaron, have fun with your camera ---great purchase! Just be aware that from now on, you'll be thinking constantly about what to buy next for it. So, you may want to reconfigure your budget for the future!
