Guys,
I have graduated from a point and shoot into semi-slr to full blown SLR. On black Friday I bought this camera.

It's a Canon SX10 IS for those of you who are to lazy to click on the link... I bought it for $349. It comes with a fixed lens 5.0-100mm 20x optical zoom. By far the nicest camera I have ever played with.
Here's the camera that is got me second guessing...
I can buy in the box a brand new spankin real DSLR with a EF-S 18.00-55mm lens for $399. This is a sweet deal that I don't really want to pass up on. It's the Canon Rebel XTi. I really like the fact that I can buy an SLR for $399 with lens for the same price as a very nice point and shoot.

Now here's the dilemma.
Do I return the point and shoot for the SLR and not have to worry about buying a SLR body in a year when I get bored of the P/S? Or do I hang onto the P/S and just wait till I find another sweet deal on another SLR later?
P.S. This deal is at Office Depot for the Canon Rebel Xti. It was $699 last week but is now $399 with lens. The Sku number 910-635.
