I've been considering the Canon EOS 40D for my wife. Most places are out of stock...many have waiting lists.

I found that you can buy it on Amazon.com -- according to their web-site they have them in stock and you can get free 2 day shipping.

Here is the link (which is thru my Amazon associates page -- which supports the Daily Photo Tips education fund):



The above link is for the kit -- the 40D with a 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS (image stabilization) lens. Amazon's price is $1499 for the kit.

If you just want the body only (and not the kit) look for the drop down and select the "body only" option. The body only price on Amazon is $1299 -- pretty much the same price I've found on B&H, Wolf Camera, etc.
