What did you pay for your Rebel XTi and where did you buy it?

Just curious...did DELL add "Sales Tax" to your 30D order ??

I live in Oregon... I never pay sales tax, HEHE!

Yes you did Tange 1, I didn't see it -- I found that post on the Slick Deals website - didn't mean to steal your thunder!

I bought mine on ebay. I got included in the auction:
1 Digital Rebel xTi/black
1 Pro Camera Bag
Kit Lens
Canon 75-300 mm /5.6 lens
4 gb memory
memory card reader/writer
cleaning kit
2 UV filters
2 batteries

Total cost : $ 1,100 U.S. dollars

I got it from NewEgg about a month about for $818 with the kit lens.

I got the body + 18-55mm kit lens for $739 + shipping here (butterflyphoto), but of course it's gone down to $719 after only a couple of weeks.

Elsewhere I also bought the grip and a spare battery since the grip holds 2, a cheap CP filter, 2GB Sandisk CF card.

I still need to get a bag of some sort, a tripod, more lenses, and probably a hand strap.

i actually got mine for 795 w/ 18-55 kit lens nad a 1g scandisk ult2 cf card from bh.

[edit] 2g cf card

Bought mine (Digital Rebel Xti body) on Amazon.com for $717, free shipping and no taxes...
Got to love that

i bought the 400D body, 1 gig Ultra II card and Canon 50mm1.8 for Sterling £477 delivered. not sure if thats a god pricve but I do not pay VAT where i live

Bought from Dell with the 10% and 15% discount. Unfortunately they tacked on the sales tax, but the total still ended up being cheaper than any other merchant. Of course I had to wait a month to receive my camera, and it was sent via DHL which I don't trust.

Bought it last November at Black's Photography w/ kit lens for $850Cdn ($1099 regular price) Price matched a Sears sale.

I am buying one in March. I see it at www.buydig.com for $655 silver body only. No tax (in Illinois) and free shipping.

I also took advantage of the Sears price tag and had Futureshop do my price match - they also stuck by their policy of beating the price at a 10% difference of the cost, and thus it went from $1099 to $850 (Sears price), a difference of $250, so 10% of that equals an additional $25 dollars off, and so I got it for $825 CAD

That's the XTi with kit lens.

I bought mine from COSTCO, so i paid $820 + $50 for a year's membership there.

(went with costco for their return policy)

Last month from DELL for $611 after 20% off and additional 10% coupon I bought on Ebay, free shipping. I used it for a month, didn't like it and sold it for $625. Awesome deal. Body only, in black.

$815 or so with kit lens, tax, and all out the door. Best Buy
