Canon DSLR comparison chart for all the different models featuring price and specifications

The best deals we heard about recently:

Abe's of Maine has made a big play to get some of your Christmas cash by offering some great deals, you can see by the list below that they sharpened their pencils just in time for Christmas. The biggest mark down seemed to come on Canon's EOS M, with close to a 40% mark down from it's introductory price ( with an extra lens and flash thrown in!). The Big Surprise was how well the T2i held it's price, with one of the smallest mark downs of all the EOS DSLR Bodies. From Our sample images below you can see this camera ROCKS! The gallery image on the upper right link were mostly taken on the T2i

Most of the retailers here carry all of the models, but we have gone through the price lists to find you the best deal. If you don't have a lens, don't worry. You can find body and lens packages at every retailer.

Canon's new series of Video enabled prosumer quality DSLRs has really impressed us. We started using a T2i a few months ago and are tickled pink by the resolution the 18 MP offers. We had an additional change between the two samples below. The first is from the T2i using Lightroom from Adobe (just over $300 at Capitol Supply to edit directly to PS, which gave us an edge on color clarity from the previous shot taken on the XS with only 10 MP and Adobe Photoshop (currently $940 at B& H.
