Have some patience .........it might take some time before
people who know the answer to this are around and read
your thread.
In the meantime.....you could try just calling Best Buy.

Just checked the Best Buy website to see if you will be able to get the T1i body only in store...doesn't look like you'll be able to (online only). The only bodies available seem to be the 7D and the 5D2.

Why do you think you'll get a better answer here on the forum as opposed to calling your local brick and mortar stores to determine the answer? And if you're not going to buy until near the end of the year, what's the rush for an answer?

And, your point is? This is a collection of people with an interest in photography, and while the vast majority will attempt to help you with answers when they have the information readily at hand, that's doesn't excuse you of the responsibility to do your own due diligence and research.

Being impatient and and short with forum members isn't going to garner you any additional help and may, in fact, result in the opposite effect. If you're not going to buy the camera until later in the year, it seems you could quite easily call or visit the store tomorrow and establish a far more reliable and definitive answer than anyone here on the forum could give you tonight.

It sure is the Canon Digital forums. Notice the lack of Best Buy in the name of the forum?
And if you aren't buying until later this year, then why can't the phone call occur to BB tomorrow exactly?

Impatient people just don't have the search skills anymore or a Lack there-of, though I will help you out somewhat.

If you had actually tried to search and Not Demand the answer, after your little time telling rant I'll actually do your typing for you. I'll even go as far as telling you which link to click...It's the third (3rd) one down.

no, you can't get body only in the store

just buy it with the lens in store, and then sell the 18-55mm IS(or keep it...it might be better than your 17-85mm)...you'll end up making at least 50 bucks on the whole transaction

Nah, he's from California, home of the "I want it all/right now" generation.
