I've been looking around for a good price for a Canon Rebel XT, and while some places do have better prices, one place that struck me as a much bigger difference is refurbdepot.com The black version, with kit lens, is $600. The only difference is that it only has a 90 day warranty, which can be extended (by a company other than Canon) to three years for $40.I know with some products, refurbs can be ok, but since I'm sort of new to cameras, I have to ask: Is it a bad idea to get a factory refurbished camera?
good luck with your rebel, i love mine.
