    Here's a good deal at B&H. Also Dell sounds good. I wouldn't deal with Abes of Maine personally.

    Be aware that the B&H deal is body only.

    Run! Run like the wind! Abe's of Maine is one of the classic ripoff artists around. Stick with the reliable online stores.

    I recently went through the same process as you to try and find an inexpensive digital rebel. I found some "deals" which I thought were too good to be true. they were. Also, just to be safe I would check the company's record with the Better Business Buero (sp?) and every company that would offer a great deal also had a terrible record. Eventually I just settled with BnH because I figured that it just was not worth the hassle. And they still have really good prices.
