Will the price for the Canon T2i or T1i be going down?
I was thinking that since the T3i just came out, the prices for the older models would go down...but I haven't seen anything yet.
Are they not expected to go down now that there is a new model out?
The prices haven't changed much since january...

so far, not every retailer has the T3i in stock.... so you should expect the older one to drop later, i would say atleast a couple months, the T1i to drop first.... most likely Canon will phase out the T1i, the T2i don't really need to be discount at all, given the T3i price is 1k.

If I remember correctly, the t2i was 999 before the t3i came out. When I bought the t3i at henrys, the t2i was 899

I got mine for $749+tax around then.
It also included 4GB memory and camera bag..I still think it was one of the best deals I paid in the recent past.

I know but that time has come and gone. My cousin got the t1i with an 18-55 for 585 during that time too and then the price went to 899 and now just recently 799

Thought I read a review (can't find it now
) of the new lens, 18-55mm IS II. It mentioned the quality issue and pointed out an example that the lens alignment marks were painted instead of moulded on the lens.
Was checking out the T3i at Bestbuy and felt that the swivel screen is nice but it reminds me too much of my S3.
