Our Daily Deal: Canon EOS Rebel XS Digital SLR for $559

by Terrence O'Brien on July 6, 2009 at 02:20 PM


The folks over at TechDealDigger are letting us know about some of the best deals they find on gadgets every day, so we're going to pass that information on to you. After all, in these tough economic times, every little bit counts. We may not be buying Swarovski-covered iPods any time soon, but everyone needs essentials like a computer. So take a look at what the online deals site sent us today.

Cheap, digital, point-and-shoot cameras are a dime a dozen. While great for simple snapshots, sometimes those $200 digicams just won't cut it. Digital SLRs, which tend to be a bit pricier, let you flex your photo creativity with larger image sensors and interchangeable lenses. Our pals at TechDealDigger pointed out a sale on a 10.1-megapixel Canon Digital Rebel XS. This entry-level Digital SLR lists for $600, but is on sale at Amazon right now for $535.

The Rebel XS features a 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder. The package comes with a versatile, wide-angle-to-medium zoom, a Canon Zoom Telephoto lens (list price: $270), and a Tiffen UV filter (which cuts down on haziness). That's about $890 worth of camera equipment (and free shipping) for just $559. Add all these items to your shopping cart separately on Amazon to take advantage of the hidden savings. (They'll show up during checkout.)
