After MONTHS of contemplating whether to buy a Nikon or a Canon - today I finally decided on the Canon Rebel... A girlfriend of mine at work found a deal at Costco for the Rebel XSi - 12.2 mega pixel with the lens, an extra lens (75-300 I think) an SD card - yadda yadda for 799.00... We've been to every store on the planet - we FINALLY decided to go to Wolf after driving all the way to Lewisville (closest Costco to us) and they didnt have the same deal in store as on line... They had NO deals in store - which totally irritated the shit out of me...
Anyway - we went to Circuit City - and they knew nothing so we headed to Wolf.... I had NO idea how competitive they were! Seriously - better prices on some - others were about the same at other places...
I decided on the 10 Mega Pixel Rebel XS - the difference in 2 MP isn't going to be huge with shooting pics of the kids... and its double what I've got now...
Walked out of Wolf for less than $720 bucks with the camera, extra lens, 2GB SD card, a $50 gift card to use later, $270 worth of classes a free photo book and 20 free prints... Really really impressed with Wolf Camera... And the employees actually knew what they were talking about... Rather refreshing...
I did run into a really nice lady at Circuit City who is a professional photographer and said she's always been a Nikon user - but that she would buy Canon if she didn't have so many Nikon lenses... That helped!
Anyway - wanted to say thank you to everyone for your suggestions!
Woo Hoo!! COME ON BATTERY!!! CHARGE UP! haha... I'm ready to start taking an assload of pictures!
