Right now, you can get a factory refurbished Canon T2i DSLR for $448 using codes 20SLR412 and NEW412. I do not know how long the 20% off discount and free shipping offers will last.

The camera includes the standard 18-55mm lens to get you started. For macro and sports, you would need different lenses. The T2i received stellar reviews when it was introduced in 2010 at a retail of $900.
