Canon T3i, kit 18-55, 55-250, random printer, 45mbps 16gb sandisk extreme SD card. Its normally $1000 but they have a rebate and its only $599. Crazy deal if anyone is in the market for buying a T3i/new dslr.

saw this on dslrvideoshooter.com, which is a pretty cool site. Crazy good deal.

B&H link for those who are wondering. That is a steal, and yes those lenses are soft, but to put it into perspective a t3i on it's own is actually $50 more...

It doesn't even expire till december 31st so that could be a great christmas gift! $200 more for a decent manfrotto and your pretty much set.

well dude tons of people buy the 55-250 for $200 new online, so if you have a new 55-250, you could easily sell it for like 150. Not as many people buy kit lenses, buy you could still sell it on amazon for like $100 since its new.

No they don't. They're just fine. The build quality, af and speed suck, but the glass is just fine.

Eh so so. I have the 55-250 and it's a great lens for $170-180. Moderately fast AF, great image stabilization (even for video), okay build quality and decent sharpness (compared to my friend's 70-300 IS).

jump on this if your looking at getting a new DSLR, you can even just get this, sell the lenses and just keep the body only - and earn like $200-300 plus a bit for the printer maybe
