I want to purchse this camera but I would like to know what comes in the kit and how much the kit is. Thanks for the replies in advance. I know the XTi just came out but I'm interested in the XT. The Rebel XT body comes with all the necessary cables, a battery, software, neck strap, and the manual (it does at reputable stores, anyway). The standard kit simply adds a Canon 18-55mm zoom lens. So you'd only need to buy a memory card separately to get started.
Right now, Beach Camera has a great deal on the standard kit: just $709 http://www.beachcamera.com/shop/product....
B&H offers the standard kit for $750 and at Ritz Camera it still costs a whopping $800.
If you find a place that beats $709, be very carefull. Beach is 100% reliable - some places aren't!

If you want, you can also buy the XT with a variety of other lenses and accessories as a kit. A popular choice is the body + Canon 17-85mm zoom. (The 17-85mm gives you a bit more zoom-range and it's a better quality lens.) Other kits have the XT body with two Sigma lenses. The choice of alternative kits will vary from store to store, so it's hard to compare prices. go 4 the xti better camera I have the Canon Digital Rebel, but just after I bought it the Rebel XT came out. Kit came with Camera, EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 lens, wide neck strap, battery charger, power cord, battery pack BP-511, interface cable, video cable, and software. Rebel XT Kit should contain the same. Price should be around $900 (it sells for $789 in the military exchange. I live in Japan). Try the link below. |
