- I can't remember off the top of my head what the differences are, but
- I think it has 1/2000 shutter speed (Rebel has 1/1000) but I may be
- wrong on this. What I am sure about, however, is that Rebel II has a
- *built-in flash*. So, if someone is trying to sell you over the phone
- a kit that includes a flash, they may very well be trying to reap you
- off by treating the built-in flash as the flash included in the kit.
- Beware of nasty dealers! I think Popular Photography recently had
- something on exactly this sort of sales practice.
- Hope this helps.
