Wow.<\/li>\n    <li>Maybe you can use one of those jumbo SDHC cards in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.costco.com\/Browse\/Product.aspx?Prodid=11487050&#038;search=t1i&#038;Mo=1&#038;cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&#038;lang=en-US&#038;Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&#038;Sp=S&#038;N=5000043&#038;whse=BC&#038;Dx=mode+matchallpartial&#038;Ntk=Text_Search&#038;Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&#038;Ne=4000000&#038;D=t1i&#038;Ntt=t1i&#038;No=0&#038;Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&#038;Nty=1&#038;topnav=&#038;s=1#\">Canon Rebel T1i with MP980 printer<\/a> bundle that Costco has. $1100 before a $300 rebate, which essentially means you get the camera body and lens for $800, a very slight savings over what you&#8217;ll pay elsewhere, but with a $300 printer thrown in for free. If you can sell that printer for anywhere near its value, you&#8217;ll make out like a bandit, it seems. Besides a really nice LCD, excellent high-ISO performance (at least for its class; a D3 or 5DMkII will outperform it, but at three times the cost or more), it also brings full 1080p HD video, albeit with a crappy microphone per reviews.<\/li>\n    <li>AT&#038;T apparently has some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatwallet.com\/forums\/hot-deals\/941259\/\">8GB refurbs of the iPhone 3G<\/a> for $50, though (a) you&#8217;ll still need a close-to-$100\/month plan, and (b) that thread is full of arguments about whether refurbs are worth it or not, and Mormon jokes&#8230;?<\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newegg.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254035\">22&#8243; 1680&#215;1050 Hanns-G LCD<\/a>, $139.95 at NewEgg.
