Bear in mind most stores will not sell you a display unless it's their absolute last one they have. If it's discontinued they should be able to take 10% off whatever they've got marked, otherwise they may not budge.

I dont know about that. Personally i would never buy a floor model (d)slr from any one other than a camera specific store. You have no idea how may people just walk in there an just click the shutter. And at least 2 out of every 3 times i walk into a circuit city etc they do not have a body cap in, exposing the mirror/sensor area, and many other important (and expensive) parts that you know people touch.

Every time I look at a floor model I pull off the cap or the lens and look inside. Almost every time the mirror is covered with numerous fingerprints and smudges. Who knows just how dirty is is inside there. There's no way I would ever buy a floor model...
