Since bing.com has 20% cashback with Dell, so their cameras price seems to be pretty decent after cashback from bing.com
i.e.
Canon 50D with 28-135mm IS lens is $927 after cashback.
Canon T1i with 18-55mm IS lens is $575 after cashback.
Canon XSi with 18-55mm IS lens is $471 after cashback.
Nikon D3000 with 18-55mm VR lens is $400 after cashback.
Note: If you do not want the lens that shipped with the Canon 50D, you maybe able to sell it back for around $300. That MAY make the 50D body cost $627 after the cashback and lens selling.
