dSLR. Is this a good buy: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3?
I found this on Amazon. I’m not from US or Canada so I plan to have it shipped to my friend’s address in Seattle. I’ll pay though credit card. Is it a good idea to purchase online when I’m overseas? The same model here is twice the price. What’s the reasonable amount to pay for the model above?
I’m also wary because I don’t know much about cameras. I’ve read here that some cameras for sale online are scams, meaning not fully or truthfully advertised. I want a standard kit, for a nice enough camera, beginner entry level. Is the model below good?

I’m still choosing between this or the Nikon D80. Is the D80 more expensive? It’s so confusing!!! Thanks in advance for great tips. I really appreciate it. Who thought buying cameras will be this tough 
. I just want to make sure I get the best one within my price range and for my needs.
Amazon is legit.
