Canon EOS Rebel XS

[mcheap5001]

Looking for a Canon EOS Rebel XS. Can come with a kit of some sort, and if it did I prefer to get a second battery, some sort of bag, zoom lens, or some combination therein.

Here's the best deals I can find thus far:

B&H (cam + lens) = 528

Amazon (cam) = 469

eBay (cam) = 399

eBay is seemingly the best deal thus far, but I don't trust eBay as much as Amazon, right now I'm leaning towards B&H though for quality, price and overall trust I have in them.

Any better deals out there? Other advice?

thx!

You can get it @ CC for $445 with 10% AAA Coupon(Camera & regular lens) the 75-300mm III Lens gets horrible reviews plus the weight on it kills it.

They accepted it when I used it at the store. If you look at the actual link where you sign up for the 10% it says Sony DSLR's.

thanks for the replies, i ended up going with B&H, maybe the lens isn't great, but the cost of the body+lens rebel xs is ~475 from B&H which is a good buy, and they throw the lens in for an extra 24 bucks, so, meh.

for what it's worth, it's also 456 from amazon, which i didn't go for mainly b/c of the lens and the fact that i trust b&h more than amazon vendors..
