We've been very happy with this camera and accessory kit. We mainly bought it to get action shots at gymnastics under low light conditions with no flash. We are able to do that very well with this camera. The lens are excellent for these conditions. I will buy another large SD card to go with this camera. Battery life is really great and having a second battery is nice. The included SD card transfer via USB to the laptop is especially time saving feature. Awesome quality, couldn't be happier!

Great camera, still a bit more bulky that I had anticipated. Definitely recommend for a new DSLR user.

OK lest first talk about the Canon T1i. It's a really great and sound camera. It has some really nice features for a DSLR, including some you won't find on lesser models. It does an excellent job when shooting at higher ISO's which is a big plus coming from a point-&-shoot camera where I couldn't go above 200 without tons of noise. With the T1i I can go 1600 and not worry about it at all. Heck 3200 at times is more than fine and if you have a noise suppression program it will be more than fine. The only negative and it's not a big one but it's the feel of the materials of the casing. Compared to Nikon's it just feels a bit cheap, but the actual results from the camera are anything but cheap.

On to the lenses. The kit lens is ok, it has a pretty high f value for a kit lens which is nice but for me I'm loving the 55-250 IS zoom lens. It has a great range to the lens and the IS is great in low lighting situations. With the IS on both lenses you can shoot at really low shutter speeds if you have a steady hand and not have any problems.

The bag and other accessories that come with the package or OK. The extra battery is a must have! The bag works fine. It's a bit big and I would like it if the strap extended to a larger size but hey I'm a big guy. The 8GB memory card is nice, it's not the best quality card but works well and trust me you'll need at least an 8gb card for those RAW files. Honestly that's all that I've used of it. All of those other items won't be used that often but will be nice to have when you have clean the camera.

Overall I'm loving my purchase. The T1i is a great body and the getting the 2 lenses are a big plus and they are a great combination together.

i bought this camera last year and it still works great! It takes the best pictures. I have owned several cameras and by far this one is the best. I told several friends and they also bought one too and they also love the camera. Its easy to use, I just set it on auto.

I have owned Canon products for a number of years but just purchased this camera along with the 55-250mm 1:4 - 5.6 lens and could not be more pleased. This camera is a jewel. Not only are pictures sharp and colors spot-on, but the camera is so simple to use. Everything you want in a SLR digital for a beginner, but with professional results. I have a great deal to learn about the more advanced methods, but will have plenty of time to do that; right now the simple process of taking quality pictures is simple with the automatic function...the more creative aspects are soon to come and this camera allows every capability of doing that and more! Very pleased with this purchase.

I really recommend this awesome kit for all new photographers!! and the best of all, at a great price!!

This was an excellent buy!! Cameta was great about immediately sending 2 replacement clips that broke during shipping. I assume the cold had something to do with them breaking. Thanks Cameta!!

Nice product for a very nice price. Bought it for my friend as a gift and she's very pleasant for it. Excellent combination under the name of amazon.com and cameta camera. Highly recommended.

Speaking as an amateur, I love my digital SLR. It will improve my photography considerably. The kit was as promised and a broken clip on the camera bag was replaced by 2 sent as soon as notified.

I haven't had this camera very long, but what little Iv done with it Iv loved. Some of the things right off the bat that I like: it's light, the low battery warning is very obvious (It was hard for me to tell on my point and shoot), it takes great pics even in low light on auto/with out the flash ( a major improvement over my point and shoot!) As I said before, I haven't had time to do much with it so far, but what Iv done has impressed me. I thought the price for the package was great, much less than in the stores.
