Well, it ain't THAT bad. They are including 2 canon IS lenses, a 4GB card, and a slew of other stuff including 2 cases. The body alone goes for 8K at B&H, their buy-it-now is just under 9K, so I wouldn't say they are "screwing" anyone, though you'd think anyone who wanted an 8K body would be looking for L glass...

| Wow, they are even including an EF-S lens--what a great deal to go with that 1DsMkII. Ugh. |

What I'm wondering is why they bothered to include a wideangle converter that's used on P & S cameras.

Yeah, except one of those lenses isn't compatible with the body. |

2 canon IS lenses, of which 1 is an EF-S, a 4lb max. tripod, fluorescent cast filter, a wide converter (if you can afford an 8k camera, you can surely afford a decent fish) and a no-name brand cleaning kit with unknown fluid

Did the same, good to get in the habit of having another window open so you can refresh and cancel your post if necessary. |

I was being fairly sarcastic anyway, people. I hadn't noticed the EFs lens. Anyway, I sent an e-mail to the seller LOL.

Considering all that crap that is included for free will cost you $1600 over the price of the body alone I'd say it was a fool's deal.
The tripod they have thrown in on the deal won't even support the body and one light lens.
The shipping is also high at $50. flat rate.
Not to mention the feedback rating for Sunshine Electronics is only 98.2%. That alone should tell you to stay away.
This is the best deal I have been able to find.

No folk should remain ignorant when it comes to making a $9000 purchasing decision. To do so is to screw yourself.
