Tom,
I don't think Amazon has that kit advertised together, and they don't show the real discounted price until you get to the checkout. If you put the Canon XSi camera with the 18-55mm kit lens, the Canon 55-250mm IS zoom lens and the Tiffen UV protection filter together in your shopping cart, the $200 instant rebate will apply upon checkout and the final number comes to $643 and change. I went all the way through checkout so I could see the final price but didn't finalize the order when it got to the "pay now" part. I had seen this on a camera forum when I was researching the Canon and Nikon cameras. I'm not very good at adding links, but I will try. This link should take you to the kit. Scroll down and look at the "items frequently bought together" and add all three to the shopping cart. The discount will apply at checkout. Hope that link works.
Jim, thanks for that perspective. I think that's one of the reasons I'm still considering a DSLR instead of a better point and shoot camera. Sometimes my grandkids move faster than the shutter on my Sony and I miss the shot.
