When do you expect the 40D kit price to drop again?

I know that the price really pretty much stayed the same after the rebates ended, but I'm looking for the kit to drop under $1000 before I take the jump on my first DSLR. I really prefer how the 40D handles as compared to the Rebel series. Any thoughts on when it could occur? I'm guessing right after the 50D comes out...

yes the 40d is superior.. great value =)

Hey, I just upgraded from a Canon Powershot S2 IS to a 40D. It hasn't arrived yet, but I ordered mine through Microsoft Live Search. You get cash back when you search from the site (the amount you get depends on which merchant you buy from). I bought mine from J&R for $1000 (regular price $1140, $136 cash back, free shipping, no tax). I know that's not under $1000 but a good deal if you're impatient like I was!

Hmmmm... Now THERE's a thought. However, after discussing it with my hubby, I'll probably wait closer to Christmas. Then it will be a birthday/Christmas gift in one.
