Canon SL2 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm is STM & 75-300mm Lens, 64GB Memory, Bag, Flash, Monpod, and Cleaning Kit Bundle

Comment

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.

This is a great camera with an amazing value, especially for a relative beginner like myself. It comes with everything you need in a starter pack and more, plus a nice bag to keep everything in. I was going to deduct a star because I initially received a rather flimsy (but still functional) Ritz Gear tripod instead of the Manfrotto this promises, but I messaged them and got a response and a brand new tripod in a few days. I am so happy with this product.

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.

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!

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.

This is my first DSLR camera and I am getting very acclimated. I have no experience with dslr cameras or any "professional" camera at that but I am definitely earning my stripes. Both EF-S 18-55mm and the 75mm are Canon lenses just confirm. Very decent non-Canon accessories. Crisp photos & solid videos. Great camera.

A very good price for all the items that come with the camera. They are not cheapies either. The only thing I would like to see in this camera is that you could use the screen as a viewfinder. It only works like that taking a video

Simple, cheap, light weight, and very nice quality. I would suggest a 50mm 1.8 lens to go with this youll be amazed at the photos you can take. If your aiming for video You can add a cheap takstar mic to much improve sound quality. The articulating screen is great for vlogging or youtubers. Canon Has made a lifelong customer of me.

I wanted to get back into product photography but didnt want to spend thousands of dollars. I needed a better camera than just a point and shoot and the SL2 fit the bill. I have plenty of control over the white balance and depth of field which is all I wanted but the bonus is the clear and crisp focusing of a dual pixel autofocus and canon lens. Very happy with the purchase.

Received right away and I was so excited when it showed up. It came over packaged...which I loved because I knew it was not damaged. The picture of all of the products it comes with does not do it justice which was also a nice surprise. Everything, including the tripod, fit perfectly in the case it comes with. The Camera also works great! It comes with a big manual that I still need to read....and Im not looking forward to, but I know I will need to get to know this camera. Hope this helps!
