 That is an untruth. Cost is not a factor. The Digital Rebel, a digital 
 SLR, is less expensive than some ZLRs. This camera is included. In the 
 near future, there will probably be a $500 digital SLR and $1500 ZLRs. 
 They will stay at home in their own group when this happens. The group 
 is about digital camera body and lens systems - systems such as Canon 
 EOS, and Four Thirds.
