For what I could find the lens is a Canon 75-300mm f4-5.6 EF III equivalent to a 120-480mm 35 mm lens, worth about $187, the hand grip cost about $100, so the bag will end up costing about $13, worth only if you need a bag, if not, better buy the lens and the hand grip separately

Do not buy this kit if you plan on doing anything more than purely basic picture-taking. The included lens is slow to focus, very soft (doesn't take sharp pictures), and is completely plastic. If you do buy this lens you better carry it around in bubblewrap because it will break if you ever drop it. The battery grip can be purchased on eBay for less than $40 and the bag is almost completely worthless. Take my advice: do not buy this kit!

I am very happy with this Digital Rebel Zoom Kit. The battery grip makes my camera feel much more, dare I say, professional. I just wish my camera was black so it would look nicer. The 75-300mm lens is nice and I have taken some nice shots with it. It may not be the sharpest lens (especially when extended all the way out to 300mm), but for the price, I cannot complain.

The included bag is a very welcome addition to my collection. This bag is well padded, has velcro around the top where the lid closes which keeps everything nice and secure and is very comfortable on my shoulder. This new bag easily holds everything I have now. I would suggest adding a UV filter to your purchase just to protect the lens. I am very satisfied.
