Well I just got back from Best Buy! Sweet deal. Just had to show it off. I'm in love.:heart::heart::heart:

You're bragging in the wrong place. Go to a cheaper forum

In all seriousness congrads, don't forget to use it too, owning a good camera doesn't make you a photographer.

Don't worry! It's 6:15AM, I've had it since 11PM last night, and have already shot 300 photos. Yes, some were just listening to the 5fps... :lol:

Yeah, we all definately NEED to buy an 800 dollar camera to *listen* to the shutters banging away at 5 FPS! :lol:

Talk about a price drop!!! It wasn't a demo unit was it? With lens and all accessories? Than you sir, made out like a bandit. Enjoy.

It was an open box. That means it was sold, brought back into the store becuase the client was not happy for wahtever reason, returned it to the store. They then refunded the client, accepted the box, functionality possibly verified, repackaged and resold as an open box.

I've seen open box laptops sold to clients from Future Shop - Best Buy with client info and even good amounts of porno left on them. They were not very thorough at the time, I suppose.

that has no bearing on if the camera is good or bad or anything, its just the way they work sometimes.

It was actually their demo model. It is in perfect condition, like new. Yeah, it has 2k actuations on it already, but so what?

soylentgreen · Nov 30, 2007

Still not a bd deal as long as the sensor is clean. They generally keep a lens on demo, so that should help. 2k shots, blah... You can fire that off in a good week. I have my 40D for 2 1/2 months and already have 11K actuations.

Yeah, I did the same thing when I traded in my XT and payed $300 for a barely used 20D at a mom and pop shop........ except no one responded to that thread..............
