This question has been asked many times in the past. I try to reply each time with an emphatic, NO! Do yourself a favor and buy from a showroom when it's on sale. You will avoid innumerable headaches and rippoffs at a very slight premium. It's well worth it!
I am looking at the new Canon Rebel XT. Are there any trustworthy internet camera dealers out there?
Thanks, Mike
