That's a lot of camera for $1000 (including kit lens). Having just read the DPReview of the Canon Digital Rebel XTi, I now want one very badly indeed.

It is 7.1 MP and includes built-in image stabilization. Amazon.com has it for $323, which sounds quite good to me. Kai has been camera hunting and came across the Canon Powershot A710.

It was 1.3 megapixels (1280 by 1024 pixels) and cost US$30,000.

When I got my A510, it was normally selling for just over $300. That said, if you had one of these shipped to Canada or the UK, you would probably have to pay masses of duty.
