I am seriously considering buying this camera. I have a 35 mm Canon Rebel and am hoping to buy the digital body only and using my lenses that I already have. Will this work?????

Also, does this look like a good buy and does anyone know if this place is reputable???? http://www.bestpricecameras.com/215535-312322-1.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

I just purchased my XT body yesterday - went w/ amazon and took advantage of their $30 off w/ new credit card. The reliable internet vendors are all about $100 cheaper right now than bricks and mortar stores, and about $200 cheaper than places like ritz.

Felt I got a GREAT deal on a 2gb SanDisk Ultra II memory card at circuit city (online and in store) - with rebate came to about $75 (i think their rebate end today, but they seem to run a sale every week).

Good luck! :sunny:
 
i emailed canon and any eos compatible lens will fit but some might need to be upgraded...i had a28-80 sigma and a promaster 100-300 for my rebel slr, both fit but the sigma needed upgraded( $14, 10 for the upgrade and 4 to ship) if you have asigma lens you can go to their website and they tell you what lens need upgrade ( not many do, just happened mine did )i really can't say i see a lot of difference between my 100-300 from now and then ( hated it then, not crazy about it now either) but there is a 1.6 crop between digital and film lens so it looks like you cropped the outer edge of the picture off...( and the cental part looks larger but it isn't really zoomed closer i don't think, like when you crop a picture & it ends up looking bigger) i think technically it might make it more of a narrow angle..maybe i'll notice it more on the other lens
i got my body from buydig.com..it all went great...i also have used beach camera, also happy with them and they seemed ( when i was looking ) to have the cheapest prices from a good store. I 'd use either again. i got cards from newegg and they are fantastic, got to me within 2 days and i didn't pay extra for that . would definitely use them again
it took me forever to decide what to get but i love this camera now :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: ( was totally over whelmed the first night but it had been a rotten day) i am thrilled with the pics even with my dog lens...can't wait to get the 18-125 , i'll be so :love:

Whoa!!!!!! I need to stay away from these guys. Nothing but horror stories!!!

A big "THANK YOU" for the heads up!!!!
 

Rebel XT is in the $700-ish range before rebate. Anything lower than that... be afraid, be very afraid.
