Thanks alot.That's not a bad price actually.
16GB SDHC should be ~ 60+
Compatible Battery ~ 20-30+
SDHC Card Reader could be bundled with the 16GB SDHC
Cleaning Kit (lenspen + blower? or 1 only?) ~ 10+ to 20+
So the 500D works out to about ~1300? Decent price.
Anyway, I bought mine at MS last week: (all prices inclusive GST)
500D Kit I - 1303
55-250 IS - 370
Hoya 58mm UV - 25 ea. (for Kit 18-55 and 55-250)
Lenspen - 12
*free LCD protector
*free 8GB Kingston Class4 SDHC (from Canon Harborfront)
*free Canon EOS Bag (from Canon Harborfront)
*remember to get an eQuote from them before heading down
also managed to find ET-60 Lenshood from Canon showroom in Vivo for 29 for my 55-250.
