I am entirely pleased with the T4i and the lenses 18-55, 75-300, 58mm Wide angle and the 58mm 2x. The other accessories filters, 2 batteries, 2 chargers etc. are what I chose for this package and I am not disappointed. Delivery was timely and surprised me as it got to me from my the Supplier via my Miami Sky-box, to Trinidad in exactly 9 days...with the delivery time they targeted for delivery to Miami spot-on time.My one disappointment is that the full-sized tripod is a sub-standard product that I will not use for my T4i nor my SONY Camcorder as it is most unstable. I have one of those already and I use it to mount a small LED light when shooting, so this one will also be thrown into light-mount service. I must now purchase a seriously sturdy tripod for my T4i as my other one I use for my Canon G9 camera and the SONY Camcorder.
All in all I am quite pleased...it was a good purchase.Canon EOS Rebel T4i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm EF-S IS II Lens & Canon 75-300 Lens + 58mm 2x Telephoto lens + 58mm Wide Angle Lens (4 Lens Kit!!!!!!) W/32GB SDHC Memory+ 2 Extra Batteries + Charger + 3 Piece Filter Kit + UV Filter + Full Size...
Also if you are buying the T4i DO NOT GET ANY LENS, BUY ONLY STM LENSES!!!!
The new AF feature during video means that any non-STM lens will stutter loudly during filming and the video will be useless!
I recommend the 18-135 STM lens especially if you like a good range and prefer not to carry additional lenses.The camera and the kit arrived perfectly and on time, however there was a little difference between the the offer and the actual one because there was only one extra battery instead of two.
Additionally, I think that by mistake they sent two sets of 3 pieces of filters instead of one, while the UV filter was not in the box.
The product itself is really great, I am not a photo professional, but as a begginer I enjoyed very much the camera and the accessories, having really goods results in my first pictures.I have only had this camera since this past Monday 12/10/12 but boy do I love it! I had a 35mm camera a long time ago that I used some for vacations and the like. Because of the cost of buying and developing film I didn't experiment much with it. After my last debacle with my camcorder, where the sun washing out the LCD screen caused me to miss some once in a life time shots and video, I decided it was time for a good camera that would take stills and video. I was looking at either Canon or Nikon. After watching some commercials on the Canon and reading and comparing both I decided that the Canon was the better choice because of the faster fps continuous shooting and better video and still color rendering and many more features. I now love the world of DSLR! You can play and experiment all day and if the pictures are bad just delete them! Because it has been so long since I was serious about the art of taking pictures I have to get up to speed once again and this is the perfect camera for it. If I want to take great pictures all I have to do is put it in auto and zoom and press the shutter button. On the other hand if I want to go for special effects I can take more control and set the camera up manualy. It has many features that set up automatically ie: landscape, sports, hand held night, portrait and more. This camera has SO MANY features that it will take me some time to learn them. But the best news is that I am having fun doing it. It is simple enough for a beginner, like me, or for someone who is more advanced. I would recommend that if you get this camera also purchase David Busch's guide CANON EOS REBEL T4i/650D DIGITAL SLR PHOTOGRAPHY. It is 500 pages on nothing but this camera and all of it's operations from A to Z. Lots of illustrations and way better than trying to read the small factory manual. As for all the other items in the bundle I had no problems. The box arrived with everything that was listed in it.
Cons: The camera bag and tripod are too small for this camera and all the items. I bought extra the Amazon basic backpack and it holds all of this and more. I already have a bigger tripod, for my small camcorder, so I will now use the tripod that came with this bundle for the camcorder and my bigger tripod for this camera. The other con is shipping. You have only one option and that is 3 to 5 days. I thought, at first, that wasn't too bad. But I discovered what that really means is that they take 3 to 5 days to " START " to ship it. It was a week between ordering and arrival. If you are in a hurry there is no other option.
In conclusion I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAMERA!! I've been like a kid in a candy store this week and dream of taking pictures with it at night! If you are looking for a DSLR that can make you look like a Pro then this is the camera for you. Don't bother looking any more unless you want different lenses. This is the best $1000+ that I have every spent and I would do it again in a heart beat!Camera came 2 days early. Exactly what I expected. Excellent camera,good lenses, and good aftermarket extras (Extra battery, extra charger, class 10 32G card, ect). Everything is good except the camera case I wouldn't trust to hold a disposable camera safely and a tripod that might work for a small point and shoot. It is still a good value even if you throw the junk away.
