Pkg arrived today, and boy was I surprised when I opened the box.
The following is what was in the box:
1 Canon Rebel XTi body
6 Batteries (yes, 6!)
2 Table Top Tripods
1 Thumb Drive CF Card Reader
1 Lens Cleaning Kit
2 Battery Chargers (1 std charger and 1 that can be charged in your car as well as with a wall socket)
Various cables, strap, disks and everything else that is expected in a new box.

Keep in mind that was advertised was a gently used XTi body, that's all I was expecting. Turns out the camera is a refurb, which to me that means it's better than used.

I've already snapped off some pics which I'll post later. Right now I gotta do the dishes and get dinner ready.

Wow, you got more than what was bargained for. cheers

Nothing wrong with a refurb ... and you're right, it's better than used. It means it was gone over personally by one of the techs. Which means, if something was wrong, it was taken care of. Better than being boxed up off the assembly line and shipped out with no close inspection!

I'll be looking for pictures soon!!

I didn't get to post any of the pics I took last night, I got too busy reading the owners manual and watching LSU take the National Championship. laugh

The best way to learn the new camera ... owner's manual in one hand, camera in the other! wink
