Welp, I did it...

Congrats - I should be making one of these in August/September.

$400 OFF!!! Wow, that is a really good deal! I may have to break out the virtual credit card myself.

Yep, with the $200 Canon rebate, and Amazon's normal discount, my total came to $899.99 with FREE shipping, if you don't mind waiting 5-9 business days, LOL! :)

And to think I almost bought a refurb from Adorama for 874.99 + shipping, LOL!!!

Very cool ... I am still trying to decide between a 40D and XSi myself. I have the XTi and I like it.

Congrats!!

It's here!

Couple of thoughts:

1. Man is it going to be a chore keeping that HUGE screen clean, LMAO!!

2. I can tell already the colors pop waaaay more.

3. I wish the grip was fatter, already scuffing up the finish on the lens side where my fingernails hit.

4. This thing writes DAMN fast!
