Canon D50 Pricing

[Bellucciman]

I was pricing Canon DSLR's and here's what I was presented with:

D50 Kit
18-55 IS Lens
75-300 Lens
8 GB CF
$1524.95
100-400 IS/USM
$1459.95

Think this is a good deal? I'm not that familiar with Canon products but am ready to change gear!

If you're planning on getting the 100-400 you won't have much need for the 75-300, and personally if I were buying one I'd get something more versatile than the 18-55.

A better deal would be the kit with the 28-135mm IS for $1399 at B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/580464-REG/Canon_2807B005_EOS_50D_SLR_Digital.html#includes).

Costco has the same kit with a bonus 2GB card for $1349 (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11318378&cm_mmc=BCEmail_396-_-FOCUS-_-14-_-CanonEOS50D). You can find 8GB cards for $35-50 these days, and 16GB cards for $100.

Also, $1459 is a good price for the 100-400.
