Canon EOS Rebel
2009
Our camera finally bit the dust. We have been looking at replacing it with the 
Canon EOS Rebel XS 10.1 Megapixel. It’s a birthday slash mother’s day present for my wife, Mari. The reviews for the Canon are really good and it would be a major step up for us in digital photography. Our thinking is that with all the kids sports going on it would be nice to be able to have a rapid shot picture taking machine at our disposal. Hopefully we can get a good picture or two out of a hundred, 😉
The cost is up there, around $600 bucks so I got to looking around on EBay and found that people are selling them brand new in the box from $350 to $450 every day, hmmm. I guess it’s about time for us to make an EBay purchase. I’ve had friends buy plenty from EBay but I have never jumped in. A little scared but I think that it will be ok as long as the seller’s reviews are good…right?

Man… great camera. I’m sure some people will come in here and tell you to get some other crazy camera around 1200 bucks… but honestly, for what you are doing – perfect camera.
And first eBay purchase?
Welcome to the 2000’s. 😉

So far all I’ve heard are good things about the Canon EOS Rebel. Now all I have to do is find the right price and buy it.
Tim,
Should I not buy it on EBay?
