Bob, I hear what you are saying, but that link you provided was the price for the body only. Add the lens and 2GB card, and the price goes up. I paid $1000 for mine a couple of years ago, so was shocked to see prices for new ones in the $500 range. Also, the Canon software is good for uploading to only one computer. I just found one on Amazon, with lens and 2GB card for an unadvertised price of $464.24.
Here it is.
SandSquatter, you might want to check out that warranty and make sure it is transferable. Usually, they are not transferable. Also, check out the prices other vendors are offering for new ones. Price on that camera has come way down -- fortunately! It is a great camera, and I really like mine.
