Is this a good deal on a Canon XS camera?
I found a Canon XS camera on ebay for 483.00 It comes with a EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens, Battery Charger, Camera Bag, Extra Battery, Extra Memory, 8GB SD Memory Card, Lens, Lens Cleaning Kit, Memory Reader, Neck Strap, Tripod, cords, strap, Free shipping too!
Is this a good deal? The company selling it has had great reviews. What is the catch here?
The catch is probably that they replaced the Canon parts with no name parts or it is grey market. Meaning that it is not intended for sale in the U.S. and therefore will not carry a U.S. warranty. Any tripod they are giving you is worthless. It wont be able to hold up the camera. The bag and other stuff is certainly junk as well. Spend a few extra dollars and get it from a reputable dealer.
The camera should come from the factory with the following.
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus Lens for Select Digital SLR Cameras
Front & Rear Lens Caps
LP-E5 Battery Pack
LC-E5 Battery Charger
IFC-200U USB Interface Cable
VC-100 Video Cable
Ef Eyecup
EW-100DBIII Wide Neck Strap
EOS Digital Solution Disk and Instruction Manuals on CD-ROM
"Great Photography is Easy" Booklet and "Do More with Macro" Booklet
1-Year Manufacturers Limited Warranty (U.S.A. & Canada)
Cost at B&H Photo which is a very reputable site is $524 now.
