Canon EOS Rebel T7i EF-S 18-55 is STM Kit, EF 55-250mm II, 64GB U3 Memory Card, Wide Angle, Telephone Lens, 48" Tripod and Accessory Bundle

I am not new to photography; only to "digital" photography. So, when i read that a "wide-angle lens" and a "telephoto lens" were part of the deal, I thought this was a deal too good to be true. Well, it is. Although the CANON portion of the deal is exactly as advertised, the additional XitPhoto "lenses" are anything but lenses in the camera and photography sense. They are ADAPTERS - NOT lenses. Both attach to the lens that is affixed to the camera. I have a Minolta with a REAL wide-angle lens, not an attachment to a lens. It has its own camera-lens internal parts like any other camera lens. The XitPhoto website - very inadequate when it comes to contact and history information - says they are based in NY "with offices in Asia." Further, the print on the box says "Brooklyn, NY." However, the BOX and its innards scream CHINA! So sad! Japanese quality and reputation compromised and insulted by Chinese cheapness. So, while I like the camera and most of the accessories, these fake lenses drop the rating to an "its okay" rather than an "excellent." I wish I had known about this before I bought it.

The post from Ritzcamera on amazon included a video of whats included in the kit. The video shows a rode video mic, I knew that it didnt come with that, but the video is misleading. Also the pictures shows that you receive a few filters for the lense. It came with a macro, a telephoto, and wide angle filter. But not a single uv, or color balancing filter. So again, misleading and incorrect advertising.... overall very satisfied with the deal on this kit. But due to incorrect and misleading advertising, Ritzcamera, you get 3 stars.

So this is more of a review for the accessories, not for the camera. You are really paying for the one lens. The two smaller "lenses" screw on to the lens and arent true lenses. They are like the lenses you put on a phone: not true lenses so the quality isnt as good. The lens was the only accessory that was worth the price. The rest are mostly throw-away quality

Disappointing "package deal." The camera is awesome!. The RODE mic is great! The additional accessories are a joke. Some are nothing more than cheap Polaroid products. The accessories appear to be old stock that didnt sell. The camera bag was cheap and damaged straight out the box. The zipper was broken and the pull tab was laying in the bag. The tripod is a cheap piece of flimsy plastic junk. The monopod is ok, but it hard to complain about a straight pole that works. The LED Light works but appears dated and the battery box is frustrating. The additional lenses and filters work and are the only accessories worth having. Save your money and buy just the camera and Canon lenses. Buy quality accessories individually. Youll thank me in the long run.
