To answer the OP, would you consider a second hand camera? I'd assume with all the newly announced cameras (like the 7D), some people might be off loading their XSi.

You could do what I just did too. I price compared on the internet to buy a camcorder. Found that the Camera Store had the best price in Canada online. I then went to Best Buy and price matched the camera. Best Buy's price match is ridiculous, they match the price and then beat it by 10% of the lowered price. In my case, the camera was $599 at Camera Store and $629 at Best Buy. They matched the $599.00 and then took off another $60, so I ended up paying only $540.
I love the Camera Store, but if I'd walked in there, there's no way I would have haggled 10% off that camcorder, so I was happy with my price match bargoon.
Since Canon doesn't sell different models of Cameras to different retailers like other products/manufacturers, this may work out pretty sweet if Camera Store is even a little lower than Best Buy on the camera you want. It was no big deal either, I just told the sales person about the lower price on the Camera Store site, she called them to confirm it was a legit price and not some sort of internet only special (apparently that makes a difference somehow, although I might have disputed it).
