Where did you get this from?

A "full-size tripod" means absolutely nothing other than it's a tripod. Same for the Delux case and lens/maintenance kit. I have NO idea what a "cap keeper" is.

The lens should also be 18-55, if it's a Nikon. It's a good lens, especially with the D60 body. If it's the "new" 18-55, it'll have the Vibration Reduction (VR) as well, which is a plus

Whenever you buy a camera from the store, it comes with a battery: It should come with one aswell.

As for pricing: Ive seen them here (Canada) for just under $600. In the states I think that even $450 is a bit low. Again I'll ask: where did you see this?

Please tell me you didn't purchase this from Sonic Cameras.

Please look up the name of the business here ~~~~> Reseller Review In the Red Box below the Camera Icon on the right. This is one of the MOST important resources you can use BEFORE you purchase ANYTHING major online.

But be careful and don't just read one or two reviews. Read them all. Some places have employees or cronies entering in false reviews to better their score. But the truth comes out.

You can rarely go wrong with purchases from Adorama and B&H. Those two have been around for a long time and stand behind QUALITY customer service.
