I have had a Canon 10D for a while now, and it is still $1499 just about everywhere. I would watch out for that type of price, there are a lot of Gray market cameras out there, It is one thing to buy an import lens, since warranty is really the only thingdifferent, but look at it this way, if you drop your lens they wont warranty it anyways, and motors are now great in either the USM or Import. You have to be real careful with bodies, man 900 is a lot to spend for a camera that may or may not be real.
