Canon EOS Rebel SL2 DSLR Camera, EF-S 18-55mm STM, [Canon SL2 has Almost Exact Specs as The EOS Rebel T7i,in Compact Version] + Canon 75-300mm Telephoto Lens, Full Manufacture Warranty + Accessories

This is a review of the accessories included in this set, not the camera itself. Go to a place like DPReview.com to hear about the camera from someone who knows more than me. Either way, the set costs the same as the camera + lens kit alone, so these are all essentially freebies, but its fair to compare them to the freebies which the *other* sets offer. * SD Card: No complaints here. I can shoot in the largest format (RAW + high-res JPEG) and not fill it up. It does take a few seconds to write at that speed though. The buffer holds 9 shots, so you can shoot 9 before it takes a break to finish writing. * Screen protector: Doesnt fit the screen. It includes a template of camera screen sizes to cut it to, but none of those quite match either. Youll have to measure it yourself and cut. There are multiple protectors in the pack so if you mess one up its not a big deal. * Flash: Absurdly bright, reasonably lightweight. I havent tried controlling it remotely so I cant say whether it works for that. * Tripod: Not very tall, but versatile. You can bend the legs however if theres no flat surface. The mount with the bubble level detaches, so you can use it as a level on the camera without the whole tripod, which is handy since the camera doesnt have a level function. * Remote: COMPLETELY incompatible. This is an IR remote and the camera has no IR sensor. Main reason I took a star off. FYI: you need a wired or Bluetooth remote for this camera body. * Macro lens: Creates some slight distortion around the edges, but it works decently with the kit lens. * Telephoto lens: Significantly decreases the usable area of the sensor. I havent seen a usage case so far where its worth it for the zoom this gives. Still, most of the other sets dont seem to have a telephoto adapter so Im not complaining much here. * Lens kit: UV filter works decently as a protector, but can cause lens flares in brighter light. Havent tested the other two out much. * Lens cover strap: The Canon lens cover doesnt really have any flat surfaces, so the thin adhesive patch here doesnt have much to grab. I replaced it with a bit of Command Strip (thicker, squishier) and it works great. * Bag: Bigger than it looks in the picture. Large enough to hold everything included except for the tripod, but only if you remove the lens from the body. If you want to keep the camera in a ready-to-use configuration, its less efficient.

The camera is great. Super easy to use. The auto focus is dead on. Five stars. The telephoto and wide angle lenses some off brand that are hard to screw onto the end of the normal lens because the threading is super small and they vignette pretty bad. The instructions are less than helpful. Id probably give the lenses 2 stars. Pretty disappointed.

The camera has done great so far. The short version of the reason I chose it is because its smaller than many other DSLRs, and for the flipout screen. There are already many helpful reviews available online of the camera itself, and of the lenses. Personally I think the 18-55mm kit lens is great. When I was trying to choose a bundle to buy, I wanted to see more reviews of the bundles available on Amazon and what actually came in them, so here is a review for this one: Camera - came new in box with Canon 1 year limited US warranty, as it should have. Battery, charger, camera strap, and 18-55mm kit lens also came in camera box. 75-300mm kit lens - One of the reasons I chose this bundle is that it came with this second lens without being too much more expensive. This bundle is a good deal because the total price was $50 more than other bundles that didnt come with this lens, but this lens is definitely more expensive than that to buy separately on its own later, or even along with some other bundles I saw (bundle price at time of purchase was $649). The bundle also came with the following (see picture): *72" monopod *Two 32 GB memory cards *3 piece digital filter set (ONLY ONE) *5 piece deluxe cleaning kit *mini condenser microphone (as shown in product description) *memory card wallet *SD card reader *lens cap leash *Universal LCD Screen Protector - These have to be cut to the size of the camera LCD screen, and comes with a measuring guide to help you do that. I havent tried it yet. I thought this was one of the items I really wanted in a bundle, but since the screen of the SL2 can be folded around anytime you want so its not facing outward, while storing or using the camera, I realized the screen protectors shouldnt have mattered as much, since I can get a better quality screen protector for $8-15 separately anyway. *Sling Camera Bag - Both lenses and the camera and other accessories will easily fit in this bag. Its possible to store the camera in the bag with a lens attached and still have room for another lens as well as phone, wallet, keys, and more. There are multiple ways to arrange the dividers in the bag, so thats a plus. This bundle did NOT come with these items mentioned or pictured somewhere on the product page: *an extra flash (as shown in product picture) *48" tripod *TWO 3 piece filter kits (there was only one) *any kind of remote (not a big deal to me since I read in other bundle reviews that the "universal" remote didnt work with this camera anyway - I will buy one I know will work later) So on the plus side, I was happy with everything this bundle DID come with. Everything was packaged well and arrived in less than 48 hours, and the camera did come with a warranty. Some other bundles on Amazon come with even more extra things thrown in, but it seems like most of those things are not worth all that much, so I just tried to choose a bundle that had the things in it that were most important to me (second lens, memory cards, bag) and planned to get other better quality accessories later as Im able to. So for this bundle, just be aware that none of the descriptions or picture of what is in this bundle exactly match what actually came in the bundle, and this is the only reason I gave 4 stars. (There is the picture of whats in the bundle, the first description you read on the page, and then two other lists of whats in the bundle farther down the page in the product description.) But overall I was happy with the camera itself and what actually did come in the bundle and did not regret ordering a more expensive item like this from this seller.

Yes, you do get "lots of stuff" with this order, but, in the end, I didnt end up using all of it. As another reviewer noted the wide-angle lens has an outer circle visible. Having said that, Im NOT a professional camera user so maybe its just me doing something wrong. The camera itself is GREAT! Love It. I used it for making videos for home home businesses/websites. Much better than using cellphone. Easy to download vids with the cards too (had to get a card reader - a Unitek). The rear flip-out viewing screen is good too.

I did a ton of research before buying. A ton. I am not disappointed. The camera is great for my first foray into digital photography. Like a lot of other reviews state, a lot of the bundled items aren’t that great or that useful but when in comes down to it, the bundle was the price as the camera and the two lenses I wanted so the rest was basically just a bonus and it doesn’t hurt my feelings if i don’t use any of it. I knew that going in.

Kind of upset because the kit did not come with the "Polaroid Studio Series Pro Slave Flash Includes Mounting Bracket" as promised. Instead I was sent some off brand flasher. -_-

The 2 extra lenses in this kit are not compatible with the camera, the lenses are from a full frame sensor, and the Canon Sl2 has a crop frame sensor... The canon 18-55 mm lens is good!

Im giving this two stars because the accessories are garbage. The camera is phenomenal, however all the little gadgets that made me purchase this bundle are junk. Two pieces didnt work right out of the box. Do yourself a favor and buy the camera separately and spend a bit more on quality items that actually work.

This was a gift ordered for a birthday last weekend unfortunately we had a snow storm so it wasn’t able to get delivered in time, totally understandable you can’t control Mother Nature ! But, I gave it to the person today and was completely embarrassed. I spent over $800 and it looks used. We opened the camera box and nothing was wrapped as if it were new and the manual is torn up, the memory card looks like It was opened the box crumbled and put back together with tape. I don’t usually complain about anything, esp being ordered off the internet but for the amount of money I spent this is not acceptable.

The 2 lenses that attach to the camera lens do not actually fit the camera lens. It is a 55mm, but the attachments are for a 58mm. The company refused to help.
