Increasing profits by selling kits? I haven't checked prices, but, if Canon is selling a body and lens together for less then the price if sold separately, which is the usual procedure, how does that increase profits? If the idea is that people are going to buy the kit for hundreds extra just to get the body, then sure, a few might, but the majority are just going to wait, or just buy something else. Possibly another brand even. Doesn't seem like much of a recipe for higher profits.
Don't underestimate Canon's decision making. By selling camera plus lens they are making more money. Many people, myself included, already have the lenses we need and resent being forced into buying an extra lens just to get the body sooner.
