Canon T1i: Is this a good deal?

[RKS]

My wife wants a d-slr. We have friends who love their Canons and those that swear by their Nikons. The T1i is just about right price-wise and also takes HD video.

This kit is available from B&H for $850:
Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera Kit w/18-55mm IS & 55-250mm IS Lens

BB has the same kit for about $900.

It's not a bad deal. As for Canon vs. Nikon. It is highly unlikely that any entry level model will be the limiting factor for the average user.

You can get the same deal from Amazon $787.68 (plus no tax for me).

Am I doing something wrong? I tried Amazon and it is still more tham B&H.

The Kit I was looking at has the body and both 18-55mm IS & 55-250mm IS lenses.

"The Kit I was looking at has the body and both 18-55mm IS & 55-250mm IS lenses."

Click my link which is only for the body and 18-55mm lens. This is what Amazon is selling...however, you can add the 55-250mm to your cart and it will automatically deduct $200 during check out...linky

She'll love it.

Good price for a canon dslr...would have gotten it if I didn't have the 5d already.

I need a mark II to upgrade but don't have the money yet.

That's an excellent starter kit. Hope she likes it!
