Amazon has a seller offering the old 300D selling the camera and kit lens for $139!

I paid $1,600 plus taxes for the 300D and kit lens. The CF card and battery grip added made it well over $2K.

Uhg!

Wise man once said never buy digital camera when it first comes out expensive wait until it's been around for a while or end of life new model. I have never deviated from that and it's worked for me

Sounds like a good idea if your goal is to save money.  You will save even more money by never updating your gear.  Personally I do a lot of photography and I appreciate the improved capabilities of the newest cameras.  Things such as improved image quality and improved autofocusing are important to me.
