Canon EOS Digital Rebel Price Too Low (what's wrong with it)

[rkelso]

Searching for the best price online for a Canon Digital Rebel. Amazon's price is $899 (body only), a BizRate price search found it for me for $795, but then I found a place called Express Camera selling it for $599.

I like a good deal like everyone else but this price is so low it makes me think there must be something wrong. Anyone have any ideas why this price is so much lower than everyone else? Anything I should be looking out for? It did seem like their "packages" with lenses included were MUCH more expensive so maybe that's it. Let the camera go cheap and hope people will pick up a lens package for more money.

Other people's thoughts would be appreciated. Link to camera on Express Camera follows:

A good place to start. Be very wary of those very low prices, especially from retailers who are not authorised dealers. Some of those retailers practice a "bait and switch", or that price will be for just the body -- and none of the accessories that Canon ships, you will have to pay extra for those; or you only get that price if you buy a bunch of other accessories at ridiculously inflated prices.
