Canon EOS Digital Rebel SLR Camera

I used the old-school non-digital Rebel for all my art and photography classes in college and would love to get back into the swing of doing my photography. This would make a great start, but at $600 I am not so sure how practical this would be. I just wish I could afford one before we leave for Colorado, I could really get some great scenes out there! Circuit City is going out of business, so I am watching the store to see when these will go on sale so I can swoop one up.
