This kit is about the same price as the camera alone from Amazon and comes with a bunch of accessories. How can it be? What is the catch?

I asked the very same question about Global Industries a while back, but no one would reply back. Thought maybe the equipment was used. Cant get any reply, let me know if you get anything

You need to watch out for suspicious sellers, right now they ahip from Amazon.com directly I assume they are a Canon reseller so yeah, I think. :P

It depends if you're buying it as a new retail camera (the current $1300 listing), or a used one that also might not have all the items included with a new purchase (instruction book, charger, etc; such as the current $109 listing). Or, you know, work. But most sellers should tell you the status of the item and what is included.

Not sure what you want to know. Doesn't Amazon's listing have a complete rundown of the what's included in the box? Since I'm not sure if I answered your question I'll offer this piece of advice: The EVF accessory is a neat piece but I find myself hardly using it and I've used the camera in all conditions including bright sunlight.

If you check ResellerRatings.com, quite a few people have accused this vendor of scamming them. The reviews seem to fall into two groups: "they're scammers" and "they're perfect". The simple fact is that you're never going to find a legitimate dealer selling these popular cameras for substantially less than everyone else. But you WILL find plenty of scam shops offering low prices to suck you into a bait-and-switch scheme. Stick to spending your hard earned money at honest sellers like Amazon, B&H; Photo and Adorama.

Well, the bundle comes with the following items: Camera and Lens, Camera Case, Memory Card, Memory Card Wallet, USB Memory Card Reader, Rechargable Batteries with Charger, Cleaning Cloths, Mini Tabletop Tripod, Screen Protector Plastic Cover, Instruction CD, Cleaning Kit (Swabs, Lens Cleaning Fluid). I think that's everything! Hope it's helpful! It's an awesome bundle for the price. The camera alone is a great deal! Got it for my fiance, and she loves it! So many features, I can't even tell you what all it can do. Some people say it's not user friendly enough, but if you can use any other digital cam you'll be fine. And if you'd like to explore other techniques theres the digital manual.

Yes, if you buy it from Amazon above it is a new camera and will come with everything. If you buy from another seller, check with their details. Some may be used, and some may be missing accessories, etc.

I have no idea - I did buy a package with the camera: carry bag, lens cleaner, tripod, spare battery & travel charger. It all works fine

Some people are not interested in the lens that comes with the kit, and would prefer to buy the body of the camera and then separately buy a different lens. That is what I did and it was an affordable way to get a higher quality camera and lens.

Mine was new with only camera and charger and cd enclosed. Only paid $95 so maybe the other person got a pkg deal for more money.

Yes, which is amazing, and tons of extras. This deal is awesome. Just a case, the camera, and SD card sell for at least $100 more (alone) without the full package.

The base camera package is the camera, charger, battery, a level 4 or 6 memory card, and a computer cable. This supplier does include at the advertised package price all the stuff you see in the picture. I think it comes to about $20 more than the base camera alotment. Do you need all the extra stuff? Probably not, but it's lots of little things you may appreciate. If you want all the extras it's just $20. But I do suggest that you get from amazon two really good level 10 memory cards. Most retail stores only carry the level 4 cards, which cause delays in the shooting time and processing. I've only been able to get the level 10 cards on the internet, and they are worth the $10-$20 (depending on storage size you desire).

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...!

The camera has a built-in flash. The kit does not come with any additional flash

well ernesto, since i am not the seller, i will base my answer on the more common cases, usually, a used camera like this one, comes at least with the strap, the battery and charger, who in this case it is the only specified by the seller, and sometimes, just sometimes with a memory card. i do not think that is for this offer, but, again, it's just my opinion. otherwise, the camera is a great one, you can do almost everything with it! i recommend look for more lenses from olympus. ABOUT THE LENS APPEAR TO COME WITH A 14\42 A MID RANGE ZOOM WHO AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS A VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED LENS EQUAL IN QUALITY TO MORE EXPENSIVE (MUCH EXPENSIVE!) LENSES ON THE MARKET TODAY! GOOD LUCK, ENJOY!

If you have the money to buy that camera, why in the world would you be thinking about getting such a cheap rig?

I had thought this came with a free case and sd card as part of an Amazon promo. However, when I rec'd my camera today it included neither. Does anyone else remember seeing this promo??
