It was $999 at Best Buy with the basic lens. We also got the 75-300mm telephoto for $229 and a couple filters (Best Buy has a deal going where if you buy a digital camera and 4 accessories, you get 10% off the accessories). Grand total was just over $1300.
I'm nothing but pleased with it so far! Taking it to its first soccer match tomorrow, so we'll see how the predictive autofocus handles itself.
Hey Sharkky, I work at Best Buy in Avon and I drool over that camera every day. I get a discount on it, but its not a lot. It's still out of my price range unfortunately :roll:
Hey Alex, welcome to RDO! Great to meet a fellow Indy-area reefer!!
Yeah I'm in love with the canon. I've taken it on two shoots at soccer games so far and am amazed at the quick autofocus and the quality in low-light conditions. Even at ISO 1600 there's very little grain. As soon as I get some of the shots through post work (which is almost nil for this camera, I've found) I'll throw some of them up here.
