This review is from: Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon 18-55mm IS Lens + Tamron 70-300mm Di LD Macro Lens (Electronics)

I had researched this camera extensively before buying it, but was torn between the various packages available. This one includes the standard Canon lens (very nice), memory card, cleaning cloth, extra battery, battery charger, data cables, case, and Tamron telephoto/macro lens. I'm very pleased with the camera. The case is something you will probably want to replace because the closures are not secure and can't be made secure. There's a risk of the top opening and dumping your hardware. The Tamron lens is ok... very nice for the price... but don't consider it to be comparable to more expensive lenses. It does not have the image stabilizer and it has some issues accepting standard-size filters, like it is a half a millimeter off or something. Having said that, this lens is the reason I selected the package. It takes beautiful macro shots. You'll get nice telephoto shots too, but have that tripod handy.

The camera package was everything it claimed to be. I highly recommend it, but be aware the case is low-quality and the Tamron lens is great/better for some purposes, but not the same as the Canon telephoto lens that is out there.

IT ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!! Coolest Camera I've ever played with. I have had lots of other lower end digitals and they are all ok - but his one is the best yet. It has all the bells and whistles of the older 35mm that my photographer friends have and love. i've let a couple of them play with mine and they say it is the best digital for the money out there.
Thanks so much for having this!!!!! ALL the things it said came with it are there - they are all good quality items and all works well. THANKS AGAIN!!!

I just wanted to assure others that Cameta Camera did send me the camera on time as promised.

It's a good camera, the Canon Lens is quality, and (as far as I'm concerned) the "cheaper" Tamron Lens is very nice.

The bag, extra battery, memory card, card reader, make it a good deal, especially when you figure you get all of it for what you'd pay for just the camera and standard lens at a store like Best Buy.
