hardly normal price
well i am a sucker for a great deal. Today i found a canon 1100d for $397 at hardly normal, that was body and 18-55 lens. i tried to resist. honest.

one can always have a spare.....

so for those near a store do yourself a favour, resist if you can?

As an owner of a Canon 1100d - i think they are great cheap DSLR's.
Easy the astromod as well and you don't need a replacement filter! (assuming you dont want to do terrestrial as well).

in my line of retail it is absolutely "forboden" to use the word "cheap"
"inexpensive" is far better!
