I know there is a ton of 7d threads, but does anyone know a website where you can get the best deal on this camera? Either just the body, or maybe a package with a lens or two? or what ever, just a site where you think the best deal would be. Or possibly you know someone looking to sell theirs, idc. Thanks for any help

+K for Bumps and positive feedback

I just purchased a 7d.  I was in the same spot as you, surfing many different websites, ebay included.

In the end I just got it from B+H Photo.  They seem to have the best rep, and that can help a ton if something goes wrong with the camera.

Ebay cameras are "grey market" alot of the time, and warranties are sketch.

B&H is very very legit. If you want a good used deal check your local craigslist and see if anything pops up

bh is having a $500 rebate on the 7d, but only if you get a photo printer that retails at like $800-$900 on the canon site, so if you need a printer or know a friend that does or something, its a decent deal, otherwise not so much
also applies to t2i and 5dmkii

damn might not be a bad idea, I could sell the printer after buying it and then pretty much get the $500 off then... +k man

not sure, wish I could help you out there. I would just suggest looking over reviews on google and comparing prices online to see if $200 it s steal or not.

im no canon expert but i think the 10d is the lowest of the xxD series and quite outdated by now. best bet is to google and get some specs and reviews on it.
