Circuit City Bundles Digital Rebel XSi with Compact Flash Card

Someone at Circuit City needs to do proper research before printing out their weekly ad.

For the week of June 1-7, Circuit City weekly ad featured in-store bundle special for Canon Digital Rebel XSi. For all the good intentions, they are bundling the DSLR Camera with an extra battery and a Compact Flash card.

There seems to be nothing wrong but Digital Rebel XSi uses SD and SDHC cards, not Compact Flash cards.

What to Buy Next: Canon Digital Rebel XSi

I have been using Canon Digital Rebel XT for the past 10 months. It has been a great experience. I thought that I’d get my own Digital SLR camera, since the Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D) belongs to a friend of mine. I’ve been looking at Digital Rebel XTi (EOS 400D) and even a Nikon DSLR. Just now I found the next generation of sub-$1,000 DSLR from Canon. Enter Digital Rebel XSi (EOS 450D).

Since I am a total slacker, I will update this post later when I actually has the will to finish this post……
