The Price is $1535

I remember your question and your situation and this looks like a pretty decent kit for your plan. I think it would be a good idea to go another $200 for at least the middle-grade 70-300 lens, though. It is noticeably better than the non-ED lens. I really doubt that you would need the teleconverter or the mini-tripod.

As far as the price, actually, I priced these items individually and if you are getting a discount because this is bundled as a kit, it is not so low as to be unbelieveable. The memory cards might be an off brand or something... The real money is in the first 5 items and the rest can be almost free to a large dealer. Make sure that the tripod can support the weight of your camera with the 70-300 lens, though, before you use this combination.

If you have a specific dealer and item (cat. no.) in mind, click on the pencil icon and "add details" so we can actually go check it out and tell you more. Thanks. I'll check in on Wednesday.
