Good Deal on a Canon XTi?

[ccockerill]

I'm looking to get a new camera and I think that I've settled on getting the Canon XTi, I was originally considering the Canon XT but for various reasons I think that I would be happier if I just upgraded now to the XTi instead.

So that's what I've come here for my Cheap Ass brethren, so can anyone help me find a good deal on a kit or if it is a really good deal, the body only. I also might want to add that I really prefer that it be the black model just because I've never been a fan of silver cameras, I know it may seem like a cosmetic difference to most but I really prefer the black.

So thanks for your help in advance and I hope we are able to find something.

I know everyone says this, but get the body and an IS lens. I got the kit, and it's great, but I really wish I would have dished out the extra 50 bucks for a better all around lens instead of the kit one.

Personally I'd check ebay for factory refurbished versions. That's how I got mine and there isn't a scratch on it. Has worked flawlessly and I believe they come with a 3 month warranty from Canon.
