Canon EOS Rebel T7i Camera, EF-S 18-55 is STM Lens Kit, Sandisk 64GB, Ritz Gear Premium SLR Camera Bag, Filter Kit, Flash and Accessory Bundle

Better than expected! I purchased the T7i before Canon came out with the new Canon SL2, which has most of the same features as the T7i, but has a smaller, more compact frame. I think that I still would have chosen the T7i for the following reasons...auto focus is faster on the T7i with cross point autofocus, making my photos extremely sharp even with movement. So, if you’re photographing weddings or kids events, the T7i may be a better option. That said, the SL2 auto focuses better than many more expensive options. And the small camera frame makes it easy to take along. If the SL2 was available when I was purchasing the T7i, I would have given it a close look. Also, I was comparing the T7i to mirrorless cameras before purchasing the T7i. The reason that I went with the T7i was because the mirror protects the sensor when changing lenses from dust and the elements, like rain and snow. Also, mirrorless cameras typically take longer to boot up, and require that you’re in display view all of the time - which is horrible on battery life. In the last few months, Sony has come out with some great options that overcome the boot up and battery life problems, but they are still out of my price range. So, for the price and quality, Canon nailed it with the T7i. Love my purchase. Will use it for many years. I’m attaching some photos that I took while traveling in Europe. BTW, if you add any lenses, I highly recommend that you look at the 24mm lens for indoor pictures. I bought the 50mm (awesome lens), but because the T7i is a crop sensor, you have to stand half way across the room to get everyone in the frame. The 50mm on a crop sensor camera acts like an 85mm on a full frame. Love the fact that the 50mm lets in more light at f1.8 vs the 24mm f2.8. But with a flash (I recommend the Canon speedlite combined with a Gary Fong diffuser), the flash mitigates the f2.8 challenge. Note: The photo with the pheasant was taken while I was walking in a field. I could hardly track it fast enought, but the camera’s auto focus did! Also, the last two landscape photos were taken in Norway - the first was thru a semi-dirty window at 60mph and the second thru a bus window at about 35mph. Also good to note that all of these photos were taken with the 18-55mm kit lens. The lens takes awesome bokeh shots!

I've recently gotten into photography more seriously and have been wanting to get an actual DSLR instead of just relying on my smartphone. The Canon Rebel is an amazing camera, probably not the best choice for someone just starting out, as it has quite a few gadgets and gizmos to learn, but once I started to get the hang of it and learned the settings I haven't looked back since. With this bundle it came with a huge variety of tools to use. I love the camera bag as it comes with removable Velcro walls so i can customize the chambers for what I need, it's also durable and fairly compact for everything that it can hold. The telephoto, wide angle, and 55mm lenses are all perfect starters, able to get you some amazing shots after you play with them a bit. The four pack of filters are great, especially the polarizing lens. That's the one I use the most and it helps a lot when I'm out in the desert sun to keep a lot of definition and detail in my photos. I also love the thumb-drive memory card reader as it makes it super simple to move straight from taking the photos onto my computer to edit them. I'm still playing with all the gadgets, but am super happy with everything so far. Highly recommend this product bundle to anyone looking to get into more professional photography.

This camera is amazing! This is my first DSLR and the quality of photo is amazing. I have never used one so I’m just on the auto mode or the no flash mode, and they both take amazing pictures. I’ve been watching videos on YouTube to learn how to use the camera and it has really helped. When objects are up close and steady there is a great background blur that happens naturally with the auto mode. I believe there’s also a function to increase this blur. The connectivity is so convenient, it can’t be beat. The WiFi button is great. I have been transferring photos directly to my phone, and you can also take pictures using your phone as a remote. It allows you to see through the camera lens right on your phone. It’s really easy to set up the WiFi and the link between your phone and camera, you just need your WiFi password and to download the app called Camera Connect. Today I used the application on my computer to transfer photos wirelessly and it worked easily. I didn’t need to read directions, it’s pretty intuitive if you’re decent with computers and technology. The accessories seem fine, but I really just am using the battery, charger, lens, carrying care, and memory card right now. I’ll be putting the neck strap on soon. *used editing software on iPhone for the Christmas tree pic

The Canon T7i camera and lens is living up to expectations. I am thoroughly enjoying the quality and ease of use. It take amazing pictures. However, the additional gear that came with the camera was a disappointment. The tripod is more plastic then metal, the filter lenses are not labeled well but the biggest disappointment was the wireless remote. It is not compatible with the Canon T7i and is totally useless. This was one of the main reasons I chose this package over other similarly priced options. I went with the camera with gear option because it was only $50 more then the camera and lens along and included the remote, tripod & camera bag. I recognize that the camera bag and tripod would not be top of the line but I had expected better then was delivered. Had the remote worked, I most likely would have been satisfied with the gear. even with the disappointing quality of the tripod and camera bag. In the end I have since purchased a tripod, camera bag and now looking at purchasing a remote. My advice, just buy the camera body and lens package with out all the extras.
