When I bought mine a couple of weeks ago Ted's Camera house had them for $1399 with a $200 rebate package of a camera bag and 256 meg memory card. You don't get a memory card when you buy the camera.
A 256 card will give 16 normal photographs in raw format, more for astrophotography (I've found nearly double). If your thinking of getting a canon then get at least a 512 meg card. The 256 makes a good backup for those really busy nights.
Happy snapping
