Canon EOS Rebel T5 with 18-55mm and 75-300mm Lenses

This was my first dslr camera purchase. This is such a great deal, you'll have a hard time finding a better one. I got the camera in two days, which was a lot faster than I expected. I do not think I have put the camera down since I bought it. I absolutely love it. It takes great pictures of babies, dogs, and outdoor scenes (that's all I have really tried so far). I highly recommend this camera and this package deal!

My package came missing the second lense!!!!!!!I would suggest not buying this. Get it somwhere else. I cant even get ahold of anyone to fix this problem. If i ever do, i will let everyone know how it goes.

While the Rebel T5 is not a bad camera, I just don't think it's the best choice out there in this price class. And there are even a couple of areas where it's a step back from its predecessor.The camera has good image quality with decent color reproduction and detail capture. However, it's image quality is not significantly better than the T3, which is 3 years old. As a matter of fact, the T3, I have found to shoot a cleaner ISO1600 photo than the T5 does. Still, you can get usable photos through ISO3200, especially if you shoot RAW. The 18-55 IS II lens is satisfactory as a starter lens and the 55-250 lens also performs nicely.One area that has sorely disappointed me on this camera is the autofocus system. It appears to be slower and hunt a lot more, even in daylight conditions, than the AF system on the T3, despite being essentially the same. I've never really had an AF issue on a Canon Rebel up until now. Most times it works okay, it's just surprising to see it act so dysfunctionally on a Canon.Handing has greatly improved on the T5 over the T3. The body is still plastic but the materials are higher end this time around and you actually get a proper textured grip. Control layout is largely unchanged and remains pretty straight-forward to operate. The viewfinder remains the same. And it's okay as viewfinders go. The LCD screen resolution doubled but is still relatively low resolution compared to its direct competitors, most of which offer 920k dot screens. It's also hard to view in direct sunlight.I have not yet tested the video so I cannot vouch for the quality there.I have to admit, I am rather disappointed by this camera. It seems like Canon didn't really try to make this competitive and it feels inferior even to its own Rebel SL1, which has a much better AF system, LCD, and a capacitive touch screen. You also have Nikon's offerings, and $100 more will get you the very excellent D3300, which trumps this camera in just about every way.

Great starter package but the lenses almost seemed like low quality/low end. I know this is not a high-end kit but I expected more Friiday a Canon.

This choice was my best !!The camera is so lightweight it's great to handle .. I chose a small bundle but absolutely love the 70-300 lens I'm a nature buff and works great for me ..Nice clear photos .. The built in flash works Automatically when neededI love it best birthday give to myself !!I highly recommend it ...

IF YOU ARE TOTALLY NEW TO DSLR CAMERAS AND YOU HAVE NO DESIRE TO SHOOT ANYTHING BUT FAMILY AND FLOWERS....NO DESIRE TO MOVE BEYOND SHORT FOCUS POINTS THIS IS THE CAMERA FOR YOU. I WISH I HAD DONE MORE RESEARCH. I HAD A FUJI BRIDGE CAMERA FOR YEARS AND THE T5 is almost a duplicate at 2x the price. I have no desire to shoot models or National Geographic landscapes but I had Visions of shooting night skies and maybe some weddings. This camera ain't the ticket. If you feel you are ready for CHALLENGING photography get a more adVAnced CAMERA. I think my next camera with be a Nikon.

Good deal for the lenses included. It was a bit late, however. Item in tip top shape, very well-protected
