Hello All,
Sources close to me tell me that Sears is selling the Canon Rebel XT for $260 with the kit lens. This is Canon's entry level DSLR that retails for over $400 new if you can still find them. If you wanted to get your feet wet with a DSLR but do not want the drop the $600 or more dollars that an entry level DSLR costs, this would be the time and place to do it.
You can find reviews of the XT here, here, and here.
*** As a warning this is in-store only, and with very limited stock ***
I think it goes without saying, but if you really want one, you probably will need to call stores outside of Madison. We here in Madison are blessed or cursed with two things that are not found everywhere in the US. Those things are a strong economy and a lot of tech savvy folks. If you try Sears in smaller towns, or Milwaukee where there are a lot more people and more Sears, you might still be able to find one.
I used this strategy to find a HD set top box at a Janesville Radio Shack a couple years ago. HD set top boxes were going for way over $200 at the time and Radio Shack was clearing them out for $90. All five or six stores in Madison were sold out, but Janesville had two left. I drove down and bought them both. Just something to keep in mind when looking for electronics deals.
Later,
John
