Amazon has the following:

Apply coupon code 5525OBUN at checkout screen to get $200 off instantly
Use the following Rebate Form [Images-amazon.com] for another $200 off the combined purchase of the camera and printer

Result is $951.93 - $200 (instantly) - $200 (MIR) = $551.93

NOTE: For the coupon code to work, make sure Amazon (and not a marketplace retailer) is the seller of the item. Since the XS is not currently in stock, Amazon may default you to a non-Amazon, in-stock option. Simply choose Amazon as the seller from the "Other buying choices" in the right-hand column.
UPDATE
If you add the following UV Filter to your order, it will be free when you check out:
Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter [amazon.com]

And of course, since they're Amazon items, you get free shipping and pay no tax.

Seemed like a solid deal to me. I don't own a DSLR and am certainly a newbie. I was looking for a good deal on a good starter SLR and this seemed good. Thoughts / advice / recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil"
