I priced a Rebel XT with 18-55mm lens to $839.10 shipped. This isn't that much cheaper than some online dealers, but Dell is considerably less shady than most those sites.

I'm currently trying to tear myself away from the "checkout" button.<ul><li><a href="http://www.slickdeals.net/#p6300">http://www.slickdeals.net/#p6300</a</li></ul>

was there a mid-model cosmetic update, or is it actually a different body?

EDIT: I think I've answered my own question. The 350 on DP Review's site is the European branding and the XT on Dell's site is American branding. It seems to be the same electronics across the model range.<ul><li><a href="http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?c=us&amp;l=en&amp;cs=19&amp;sku=A0459534&amp;ca tegory_id=6057">http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?c=us&amp;l=en&amp;cs=19&amp;sku=A0459534&amp;ca tegory_id=6057<
