Schweet!  I'd been harassing my wife about this camera for a while now and noticed yesterday that Amazon.com had it on a special.  Well, after some intense whining on my part, I managed to convince the wife that this was "a good thing" and we plunked down the duckets for it (thanks, Baby!).  For anyone else in the same boat, you can check out Amazon's promotion to see a decent price plus a free Canon PIXMA photo printer.  If you do decide to hop on it, make sure you select a PIXMA that's from Amazon, not from one of the hosted stores.  The correct one should show a price of $99 or so.  Add that puppy, type in the code when checking out and the cost is zeroe'd out in your order.  Not badly... a good price for the camera (I got the lens to go with it) and a free photo printer!

While I'm on the subject, I have to note that Amazon is being a bit cruel to me...  I ordered the camera, the PIXMA and a memory card, all of which were in stock.  The memory card shipped in hours after placing the order.  The PIXMA is supposed to ship today.  The camera?  Still shows no shipping plans.  That's gonna be rough...  I get the "bits" before I get the camera to make use of them.  It's not a big deal to me, I just thought it was kind of amusing. 

BTW... I will be buying any other accessories from a local camera shop in the area, as the owner is a good guy and has always done me right.  Unfortunately, he couldn't touch this deal, even without the free printer. :(  I feel a bit bad about it, but I'll make up for it in accessories and processing over time, I'm sure.
