Canon Eos Rebel T1I Digital SLR Camera 15.1MP 3.0IN LCD Digic 4 W/ 18-55MM Lens Kit -- $855.99





Now, the deal is that either you can get it from NCIX and pay for 6.99 shipping (or free shipping + $10 GC you have in browser cache)

($855.99 + $6.99) x 5% GST = $906.13

or

($855.99 + $10) x 5% GST = $909.29 and a $10 GC towards next purchase at NCIX ~net = $899.29

or

PM at FS/BB for $999.99
{$855.99 - [($999.99 - $855.99) x 10% = $14.40]} x 13% tax = $951 but the ability to return if you dont like it or change your mind.

or

deduct another $10 if you get it from BB and use your SPC card's gift card.

Head ups though: Item is not in stock with NCIX so YMMV with PMing BB.

Picked one up yesterday at Futureshop without pricematching.

Got the T1i with the 18-55mm IS kit lens, the 55-250mm IS telephoto lens, and the Canon accessory kit (Bag, battery, UV filter) for ~$1270 + service plan + tax.

If the lens retails for ~$350 and the accessory kit for $100, then I think I got a better deal. I know the accessories is where all the markup is though, so its surprising that NCIX can sell the camera for that price. Either way - excellent camera!

how much of a performance difference is this camera to the Nikon D90? Or is the D90 (mainly due to cost) in a distinctly different class?

D90 has a wider range of features, has better layouts (IMHO) and comes with a longer kit lense. The grips are also quite different (Nikon's is more comfortable for larger hands). D90 is more expensive of course.

I own the T1i but got to try a friends D90 for a while while I was searching.

Is NCIX even an authorized retailer? That's something buyers should care about.

According to Canon.ca, they are not.

According to Canon.ca, they are not.

What does that mean in terms of warranty?

So I suppose it's an adequate DSLR for someone like me who is about to pick up a brand new hobby of photography? And, will probably do me fine for a number of years as I learn more about photography?

how long does ncix usually take to restock...don't want to wait weeks and weeks as the price goes down.
