I mostly sell on eBay and have been a member for 9 yrs. Before buying from anyone, check their feedback score. If it's less than 100%, read some of the feedback to see who your buying from. Most important. Do they have a return policy? You can get good deals on eBay, but just be consumer smart. If someone is offering a kit, pick it apart and look at the individual prices of items in the kit to see if your really getting a good deal. The main difference between eBay and Amazon is that Amazon has a very good customer service and stand behind what they sell with a good return policy on many items. Ebay, well a lot of sellers on eBay do not have a return policy, and should you buy something that is not as described, you might have a hassle working it out with them, and have to get Ebay customer service involved. I say this from experience in buying from both. Again, just be consumer smart. Good luck!

Yes, If I can find the same item at Amazon with lower price or similar price, I always buy at Amazon. Amazon is definitely the best online store with fastest shipping and reliable return policy.I am thinking to buy a new camera at Amazon now - maybe Canon Powershot SD880 IS as a friend recommends. I wish the price for this camera at Amozon would be more competitive.

I checked out what model my camera was and it is your EOS. It is an after market battery. Most brick&mortar stores don't carry batteries. My Best Buy salesman told me where to get them.

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S;, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

Gray market means that this lens is not distributed officially by Canon in the USA, so you don't have warranty of Canon USA, that's why is cheaper.The lens is the same lens, so if you don't care about the warranty go for it.Good luck!

D40; better built. takes very good pictures. canon is too plasticky; higher-end canons are very good; but in this price range, Nikon is better; but this is a personal opinion.

The other sellers have likely gotten their stock via the international market. In the USA, canon has not yet released the D10. A lot of the other sellers that have the camera on amazon right now are based out of New York City which is a hot spot for the "international" products. I found all of this out while in NYC last summer looking for a 5D. Personall, I would wait until amazon gets the camera to avoid any potential issues (for example, some of the international products or "grey market" canon eos 5d's that I looked at in NYC had a plastic body as opposed to the magnesium alloy body that canon produces and sells) The other sellers have likely gotten their stock via the international market.

Gregory, I don't know if you are purchasing the Canon 20D camera body from the same person that I did. If so then this is what I think. After much research on the camera, I found it was the top of the line, of all cameras, when it first came out. The original price was up around $1800 and had more "bells and Whistles" on it than you could imagine. It was stated that it was in very good condition. When I got it in the mail, I found everything was sealed in its original wrappings and the manual's pages were not even bent. I really believe that it had never been out of the original box. It was in mint condition. I am using it strictly for astrophotography on my 3 large telescopes. It is performing flawlessly. I still had a couple of lenses from my old 35mm film camera, so I bought an adapter for the 20D so I could use the lenses. The photos are great. The 20D was made back in 2004, I believe, but it is far from being obsolete. It has a great range of speed and apertures and the ISO is very good. It even has an electronic noise reducer that gets rid of graininess when you go above 800 ISO. That works very well. Go for it. Ron

Would love it if someone could comment on this. I am at the same decision point. Was also looking at the Sigma EF-530 DG Super, which is cheaper than the Canon 430. I am working with a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am an amateur. Translation, automated functionality is very desirable where possible ... but I'm also looking for a reasonable price. I'd really appreciate it if someone could share their advice. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

I think the difference is the silver canon is not sold from amazon but 3rd party...I just purchased the coach kit strictly from amazon...so not sure if this helps, but it seemed as if that is the only thing I could come up with.

I purchased a new, in the box Canon A570 IS through Amazon 3 months ago ($235.45) because my original (11-2007 purchase) was severely damaged in an accident. I purchased another A570 IS rather than going with "newer" technology, because I am totally aware of it capabilities and limitations, and it functionally meets ALL of my camera needs. If you love it and it meets your needs, I suggest you check Amazon for "new" availability.

Always check these sites with bbb.org. fotoconnection is a scam. Only Amazon stands by their price for 30 days + no tax!

To make sure (as much as possible) that it is the "real" Canon product you are seeking, purchase it from a reputable retailer such as B&H; or Adorama. Amazon is great, but you have to do your homework on the retailers they associate with ... just like you would on the world famous "Flea-Bay" auction site.

I intend to buy the Canon 60D from Amazon.I saw other sites like Fumfie.com selling the same camera kit cheaper than Amazon, but I do prefer to pay more and avoid problems.

Because Amazon is changing.... It used to be my default online store to buy stuff, even they are a little more expensive occasionally. Now they started charging 8% sales tax in CA. That's a deal breaker when I'm buying the D600+24-70mm lens because I'd have to pay $300 for tax. I bought from B&H, no tax no shipping.

I don't know what amazon is doing here it is very confusing to buy. I think i'm just gonna go to the gopro site and buy it there plus it is way cheaper from there.http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero3-black-edition
