This is a "State of the Art" camera, brand new model from Canon: EOS 500D or Rebel T1i, you name it! The cost is about: 600 dls. [body] + tax, but I just bought a package that includes 4 lenses, filters, bag, screen film protector, lens cleaners, canon belt and 24 Gb od Extra memory, also an extra battery. It's your choice, this model has the great choice of high ISO exposures for very low light, HD video recording [unique in it's model] and a lot of features of the high priced models in this solid medium body, outstanding camera for a good price: My recommendation for this summer!
