I checked on the Costco website (for the Canon Digital Rebel) and I think what they are offering online is what they are offering in the store. Note that the website rebate matches the Amazon rebate - $100, but that the base price is $949.00. So what's different?
| Costco | Amazon | |
|---|---|---|
| EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens | yes | yes |
| Battery charger CB-5L | yes | yes |
| Battery pack BP-511 | yes | yes |
| Additional battery pack BP-511 | yes | no |
| Interface cable IFC-300PCU | yes | yes |
| Video cable VC-100 | yes | yes |
| Wide strap EW-10DB II | yes | yes |
| Date/Time CR2016 lithium battery | yes | probably |
| Eye Cup Ef | yes | no |
| EOS Digital Solution CD-ROM | yes | yes |
| Adobe Photoshop Elements CD-ROM | yes | yes |
You know, I think the Costco store version also has a carrying case, which might explain the $50 less rebate. You can probably print out and use the $100 online rebate form. Notice that none of these cameras have any sort of memory included. The extra BP511 battery lists on Amazon for $50. Sunpack makes clones of the BP511 for $21.99.
