Re: SL2 with lens and printer for $400

I didn't do this deal specifically because I'm about to go out of town on a long trip.  But I've done deals similar to this for the past few years.  It is generally just with Canon and just at this time of year (mid November through early January).  I was worried the first few times, but I have not had any problems so far.

For some reason, if they include a printer in the bundle, the price generally cheaper than the camera itself.  Maybe Canon thinks they will make up the margin on ink and paper.  But many people take the printer to get the discount and then either sell the whole printer on craigslist (for $100-150) or sell the ink and printhead on eBay for $150-200 and throw away the printer.

I was a bit surprised the deal was this good since the SL2 is in its first year.  But, I bought 2 SL1s last year in similar deals for less than $200 each (after rebate and after selling the printers).
