TPF Noob!
I am getting into photography and am looking at buying a DSLR camera. I like Canon and want to get a Canon camera. I have absolutely no experianec whatsoever with SLR cameras at all. I am an engineer so I do learn techinical skills quickly so I imagine I'll be able to learn all about optics and cameras after spending some time with it.
I am looking at the Rebel line and the 20D/30D line. The newest Rebel camera looks like a great value to me. A question I have is what is the difference between these two lines of cameras? What justifies the big price difference? Is it worth it for a guy like me? I want to buy a camera that I can use out of the box and also has features that I can learn to use as I get into more advanced photograhy. What are the differences between the 20D and the 30D?
I have done some reaserach on the 20D and found some deals on the internet that seem almost too good to be true. Has anyone seen these: http://www.royalcamera.com/canon20d-continental.html

I am planning a trip to New York next spring and may buy a camera during that trip. Do you think it would be worth going to these stores? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for the help and what a great forum!
