[quote=Anonymous]As for OP's question, the Rebels are good entry-level SLRs and you can go quite a few years before you realize their full potential. The only thing I am not fond of is its performance at high ISOs, but chances are you'll get a lot of use out of this camera before (if ever) that becomes a problem. The kit lens with the rebels is so-so. I personally opted for a body only and a great (and fast) lens, say a 50mm at 1.4, which is an awesome portrait lens.

As for filters, I am squarely in the hod and lenscap camp. Sticking a $20 piece of glass in front of a $500 piece of glass just doesn't make sense to me, but yes, this is a war of ideologies, so beware :)

I also thought you could get away without all the extra stuff in this package. You need a card and a bag and you're good to go for quite a while. Make sure you get a fast card - I don't think the one in this kit is the fastest but I can't tell. I wouldn't get anything less than 30MB/s write-speed. Memory is cheap, and there is no reason why you shouldn't get the fastest card for your money - it could cost you some great shots! You may also want to pick your own tripod after you know what type of photographer you are - do you want a lightweight compact one, or a sturdy carbon fiber one that can handle more substantial lenses with good stability.

If you are just asking if the price is good for all the stuff that is included in the package, the answer is yes, it's a good price. [/quote]
