Whats makes you think it going to be cheaper? As far as I know the Nikon D100 is due for replacement and Canon will make a DSLR based on the Rebel. I'm sorry, but buy june the *ist D won't be the cheapest. In addition, the new Canon D10 is reportedly selling for $1500, which is similar to *ist D price estimates. However, Canon have the tradition of dumping the prices of their DSLR after six months or so, perhaps as early as the *ist D release date, perhaps sending it under $1000 mark. I'm just trying to be realistic. Pål
