Oh Mary Ellen, these pix are WONDERFUL!! This really sounds like a great camera and it's almost unanimous that this is the best safari camera.

I looked on the BH site and there is something with LOTS of accessories. Are these all really needed? Canon S3 IS WITH ACCESSORIES

Ralph and Claudia, I googled the Canon Rebel XT and on this page it says the lens isn't included?? What kind of camera doesn't come with a lense #%&#? Canon Rebel XT

I will need to write my Letter to Santa for this (my letters must already be up to year 2009 or 2110 by now!)
