Note the XS is so badly crippled they probably couldn't move it at a higher price(1.5fps in RAW? fuggedaboutit, even Canon junkies are recommending that people avoid the XS). And I doubt they got a 70-300 IS for $200, more likely the 75-300 IS (a real dog of a lens).
That kit does appear to be worth the $450 they payed. -Adam On Sun, May 24, 2009 at 3:02 AM, P. J.
