Canon digital rebel

Costco Mountain View carries the Canon Digital Rebel (Canon EOS 6.3MP Digital Rebel Camera with Lens 18-55MM Lens) for $899 after a $50 rebate. It includes some accessories, 2 batteries, a carrying case and some other stuff. If you are getting one, you might consider getting it at Amazon. The camera is $899.94 before a $100 rebate. You can shave another $30 if you sign up for the Amazon card. That's $769.94. Be very careful about what is included in the package - I've noticed that the camera manufacturers are starting to get quite tricky what they include where. Some people price the Digital Rebel without the lens, for example. Here's the Amazon description:

This package includes the EOS Digital Rebel digital camera with 18-35mm lens, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (BP-511) and battery charger (CB-5L), USB and AV cables, and a wide neck strap. It also comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Digital Camera Solutions CD-ROMs with imaging software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

I only see one battery, and no carrying case.
