It will be a while before I can justify yet another lens (you know Canada Pension doesn't go that far). I picked up a Canon 55 - 250 IS on sale the other day. I will just have to put the 100mm macro on price watch to buy it on sale.

With all you guys having these wonderful lens I will just have to borrow them from time to time.

Well I guess it is just a sign of the times.

March 15 Canon announced the launch of the newest model in their Rebel Line. The Rebel T1i. It was to be available in Canada approx mid May at a launch price of $1099.99.

It was available in the stores May 1 at the launch price of $1099.99.

On May 9 Best Buy had it on Managers Special of $1049.99 for 2 days.

On May 23 Future Shop had it as an Online Special of $989.99 for 2 days.

Lucky for me I had the item on Future Shop Price Watch and they E-mailed me with their Online Special and I was able to get $110 + taxes credit applied to my Visa Account.

If you have job certainty it is a great time to buy big ticket items.

Most Retailers are totally consumed with a requirement for CASH FLOW and a reduction of INVENTORY.
