I gave this seller a shot because they were offering all the extras shown in the image for the same price as the amazon seller listing. At the time there were no reviews available so I was somewhat hesitant, but I am very pleased. The product (Canon Rebel T2i with EF 18-55mm lens) arrived new with proper packaging and included all the extras shown in the image. It also arrived one day earlier than the estimated delivery window, which was great because I wasn't expecting it until after the weekend, but I got it Friday. I believe the camera bag was a different bag than the one shown, but this was a freebie gift and I wouldn't say the one I got is any better or worse than the one shown. The white rectangular plastic image is actually an extra battery, which I didn't even realize. That was a nice surprise. The black wallet is a SD memory card wallet.

The Seller

Mind blowingly fast delivery speed.
What they list is exactly what you get.
Extraordinary customer service (when notified, they expedited a missing line item from the order and threw in an SDHC card for my inconvenience).
So good, I ended up ordering a second T2i kit from them. Both cameras arrived in good shape, new in box, and function well, and in the fastest time I have ever received anything from internet ordering.

What are the extras in the package, besides the camera and lens kit from Canon?
- lens cleaning kit: useful
- extra battery (third party): useful
- 16gb class 10 SDHC memory card: useful
- carrying case: useful, well padded, shoulder strap, will hold camera with lens attached and small flash
- USB card reader: useful
- memory card wallet: limited usefulness
- mini tripod: too small and flimsy, legs will not support a DSLR camera with a lens
Overall, the package is utilitarian and contains items you would probably buy separately anyway (e.g. SDHC, carrying case, battery).

The T2i

This camera produces tack sharp images, even from the 18-55 kit lens. There is almost no visible difference between using the famed f1.8 50mm and the 18-55 kit lens in terms of clarity and sharpness. Auto focus is fast and accurate, especially when set on center-point priority. The Image Stability technology is genuinely useful and effective.

Just for fun I have shot numerous images of the moon using a Sigma 70-300mm lens (non-IS). These images are very sharp and fun to display. Better yet, there is little noticeable noise in the jet-black night sky field behind the moon. Excellent low light technology. ISO is adjustable from 100 to 6400.

For those who like point and shoot simplicity, this camera will do that on full auto mode. Of course, I cannot stand full auto and routinely shoot in full manual. This camera makes it easy to cheat, however, and I often click it back over to program mode and am usually pleased at the final results.

Battery life is quite good, easily taking me through a 2 hour continuous shoot of 400 images (I do not use the onboard popup flash at all). A 16gb SDHC class 10 card seems ideal for my needs (I shoot full quality jpg and raw simultaneously).

The viewfinder is quite bright. Similarly the LCD display is excellent for readability, even for someone who normally uses reading glasses, like myself. Its built-in selectable diopitors readily dial in a crystal clear viewing experience through the lens, even without my reading glasses (I much prefer to shoot without glasses on). Canon, please never get rid of the built-in diopitors on your viewfinder.

One of the camera's best features is the quick view and set menu display. For those who want to slightly adjust an automatic setting the quick view and set menu makes the task very much simpler.

Compared to my disappointment with the "soft" focusing 5D Mark II, the T2i really shines! It is hard to believe this camera is classified as a consumer grade unit instead of a professional grade camera.
