so...supposedly a rebate program was going to start today in the usa. i am going to sell and upgrade from my XSi to a 60D as soon as i get my tax rebate cheque in (hopefully this week) and have been been researching the best prices using photoprice.ca. well, i was planning on ordering from B&H, because they calculate the Canadian GST for you, and yesterday i checked and they were selling the 60D for $888, and today its $999 minus the $100 rebate equals $899..........so, it actualy went up in price. this is the first time i paid attention to rebates and looked before and after...........is this common practice to raise the price by more than the rebate, then put the rebate in place, so it is still selling for more???????????


think ill take a drive to vistek in mississauga and buy it here instead for $999 canadian and i wont have to wait for the camea to be shipped. i wont support stores that play tricks like this with rebate programs......and its probably best that i support my local economy anyway
