that is incredible.... i'm gunna have to pick one up. now only if i didn't want the 2.5" LCD screen on the 30d.. or else I'd keep it and sell my rebel. heh

 

[MBentz]

Damn, this is way hot. Nice find.

Nice find OP, but... not trying to TC here...

The new Rebel XTi has just come out at a similar price point and it is pretty impressive.

Rebel XTi Specs (Canon website)

The 20D does have some different features but it is a bit dated now. Just wanted to share the info.

20D >>>> XTi.

20D: Magnesium body, 5 FPS, pentaprism viewfinder

XTi: Plastic body, 3 FPS, pentamirror

Rebel Xti is way below 20d's level. 20d is Much much vetter then rebel xti.

 

[ICantAffordIt]

Is this confirmed or YMMV? It sounds to me like a BB employee put the Rebel XT price on the 20D cameras.

 

[MOCKBA1]

very hot deal. I doubt that you can find it in stock, at least in places where people have money on hands.

 

[randomlinh]

yeah, 20D wins just for the larger viewfinder... damn rebels makes it very difficult for me to manual focus

 

[Treyshadow]

So is this for real? Sounds a bit too good to be true. I'm going to check this out tomorrow.

 

[MOCKBA1]

Tell us result. I even didn't try, too many rich people in my area, so such deal will stay less than an hour.

i picked one up! the box was slighly dented but everything was in there. 855 after tax! what a great camera. i also read the camera is good for 100,000 pictures, whereas the rebel series are good for 10,000 pictures before the spring breaks.

 

[Treyshadow]

Found 1, but it was an open box. I found it at the Galleria Best Buy. The other 3 in my area (sugar land, sharpstown, pearland) were out of stock.
It is a discontinued item, so this is definately YMMV.

 

[Kenji4861]

Anyone wanna sell me one?

This is an AMAZING deal. Sell the kit lens online for $50 and get the EF- 50mm f1.8 and you can shoot your kids running around the house without a flash.

The only significant difference between this and the 30d is the lack of a spot meter and RGB histogram (both very nice to have but not for the $$$) same processing, sensor, buffers etc.
No comparison between this and any form of rebel. The new 10MP rebel XTi is actually a step backward in image quality, though not by much according to many reviews (noise).

Unfortunately you can't use the new Canon double rebates with the 20d, but there are a bunch of great things that you can.
