Not in my book. Having video and isos above 1600 to me makes the $200 price increase worth it. Yes, the image quality will be roughly equivalent, but the gains in usability are more than $200 worth, to me.
Interesting. I think I am going to go with the 500d for the video mainly because I BELIEVE this camera will be used by me and her for years to come. I'm not the type who needs to upgrade constantly. In your opinion, what makes the video option so well worth it? Quality video, convenience, price advantage, etc.
Low cost, consumer quality. Good enough to get by, great training wheels, but rarely top of the line lenses. If you know it's what you want, go for it, but these packages rarely price out better than getting the lenses separately and often weigh you down with extra junk you'll never use. I say, before going for the package, price out the lens separately to see if you're getting the deal you think you are.
Great tip, I will price them out seperately. Are all the kit lenses the same? Say if I order from amazon, or newegg. Are they all genuine Canon lenses?
Thank you!
