			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Ok, so I am a pretty frugal guy and have been wanting a good digital SLR for years now, ever since the original digital rebel came out.  Last night, I placed the order for my Rebel XT.</p>
<p>I wanted to get the order in prior to the expiration of Canon&#8217;s spring rebate, which ends July 15th.</p>
<p>I ended up purchasing from</p>
<p><a href="www.buydig.com" target="_blank">buydig</a>, after seeing them recommended on <a href="www.fatwallet.com" target="_blank">fatwallet</a>.  They were a good bit lower than amazon and have pretty good feedback on <a href="www.resellerratings.com" target="_blank">resellerratings</a>.  I also got a 2GB SanDisk Ultra II Compactflash card (from <a href="www.amazon.com" target="_blank">amazon</a>).I&#8217;ll be using the EF lens that came with my Rebel G, until I&#8217;m ready to purchase a better lens.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll keep you posted on how and when the camera arrives, and my experience with it!</p>
