WTB: Canon Rebel XT

hi all - I'm taking the deep plunge from film to digital. I currently have a Rebel 2000, purchased a Canon A95 for snap 'n shoot and love it, but miss my macro, telephoto, and astrophotography lenses. Plus, it's easier to learn "photography" w/ a digital...instant results and you can really see what different exposures, apertures, etc. can do on the spot (something I'm currently working on).
So - I'm looking to buy a Rebel XT. Wondering if anyone has a slightly used yet perfectly fine XT they want to part with, otherwise I'm going with B&H's deal for a silver body for $799. Anyone? Anyone?
also - do you think there's still a market out there to sell a used Rebel 2000? I also have my granddad's Canon AE1-P to sell as well! (different thread when the time comes)

Sure! You won't have any trouble selling either, as long as you advertise in front of a large audience. You could start at the DGrin Flea Market forum; if it doesn't pop here, then try FM, CraigsList, or -- if you can swallow the fees -- eBay. You can always check at eBay (using the "Completed Sales" checkbox) to see what they've actually been selling for there.
The AE1-P is a real "classic" -- I'm dating myself, but I remember when they came out, a big advancement at the time. I owned a Canon A-1 (a slightly later model with additional features) for many years. There are a lot of AE1s and AE1-Ps out there, so it probably won't command a big premium, but there should definitely be a market.

Also play with: studio strobes, umbrellas, softboxes, ...and a partridge in a pear tree...
By "instant feedback" I was referring a bit to the LCD screen, but more to the fact that I take the camera home and voila! it's in PSD within the hour and it's "raw", just the way I helped the camera take it so I can really see the differences in a series of shots (no auto-leveling by film processor)
while learning.
thanks!

good luck!
