Awesome, sounds like quite the steal. Hope you enjoy it! Can't wait to see some work. Bob

lol, that was if the D90 was too expensive. The D90 is way better than the XSi.

Sadly I still haven't picked out a lens yet...So I am thinking of either finding another good deal ebay and doing the cashback OR waiting until black friday and hopefully get a good deal. Either of you got suggestions? Have been looking at the 55-200 or something in that range. Just need a good "do everything" lens for a bit until I can afford another.

55-200 should be pretty good... that's be about the equivalent of 3.6x zoom if I'm correct. If you find a good deal on ebay go for it, especially since you said you want the cam this week... and I doubt you'll be taking pictures without a lens.

piece of tin foil/ aluminium foil with a hole in it taped to the front makes the perfect lens
