Great Camera
The camera is absolutely amazing. My parents had an older (non-digital) Canon SLR that I loved when I was growing up, but for the last few years I've been using a simple point and shoot Digital camera. I always thought the pictures it took were fine, but after getting this camera I realized how wrong I was. The colors on the new camera completely blow away anything...
unhappy delivery
This transaction was unsatisfactory, as the seller did not deliver the goods to the desired address within the time frame indicated. As a result I was forced to return the items without accepting them from UPS. Very frustrating, since I was depending on receiving the camera for picture taking while away on a trip.

The camera is absolutely amazing. My parents had an older (non-digital) Canon SLR that I loved when I was growing up, but for the last few years I've been using a simple point and shoot Digital camera. I always thought the pictures it took were fine, but after getting this camera I realized how wrong I was. The colors on the new camera completely blow away anything you'd get with a point and shoot camera and the rate you can take pictures is fantastic. We recently had a daughter and taking Christmas pictures was a breeze with this camera. I just kept taking pictures, not worrying if she was smiling perfectly and then went through and found the good ones. On top of that the simple modes such as portrait make the camera idiot proof for most pictures.
A few notes, if you like to use the live view (LCD screen) you have to use the creative modes. My wife is not very technical but she wanted to be able to just look at the screen like she did on our point and shoot. The downside is that you can't use the simple modes and use the screen and she doesn't want to have to set any of the settings. However, she has found that using the view finder works fine and for the quality of the pictures she is more then willing to use it.
For the price I didn't really care about the bag, but the quality of it was cheap and one of the clips actually came broken. However, for the price of the whole package, I was fine with a cheap bag. I plan on getting a better camera bag prior to going away with the camera.

I purchased this camera after I saw the amazing photos a friend of mine was taking with her Canon T1i. I could NOT be happier with the splurge I made on this camera. I live in Europe and the photos I have been able to capture since finding this are literally better than I imagined. It's fairly easy to use and the night photos (in particular) are ridiculous!! The extras that came with the camera have not been used too much, but it's nice to have the additional battery and lens. I am so unbelievably happy with this camera, I would scream it from the roof tops if anyone would listen! It's not exactly portable like the little hand held cameras I've had before, but I gladly tote it everywhere as it's worth the tiny bit of hassle. This camera is worth every penny... and then some.

I bought this camera as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law who were expecting their first child. The photos they have taken with the camera have been super. He was able to be up and running with the camera in just a short time and it's his first experience with an SLR. Great value and super camera.

Excellent package. It was well worth it to step up to these options, especially the larger memory card & extra battery. Did note that the latches on the carring bag are a bit flimsy.

I would not purchase from the seller again.
