Where I am, the 300D and the DS sell for USD 1000 each. They're more or less equal in price; the Canon is more generally-available however. They're sold everywhere: computer stores, camera stores, wherever. are you quite sure you were comparing the *istDS and the EOS 300D, and haven't instead compared the price between the *istD and the EOS 300D? The *istD was price-competitive with the Canon EOS 10D; the DS and the 300D are likewise in the same price bracket. -Luigi
