[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 646206, member: 13090"] That's a pretty decent bundle in my opinion without any of the junk accessories that so often come with bundled kits. I suspect the spare battery is third-party, but at least it's a spare and it's quite possible it's a very good spare. It comes with the latest (P) versions of both the 18-55mm and 70-300mm which, while both lenses are a tad slow, have very, [I]very[/I] good image quality. Simple answer: Very good kit. Great place to start. If you're unsure how deeply you want to get into photography buy the kit, go forth and be happy! Could you spend more on a more advanced body? Of course. But I think anything much beyond would be an exercise in Diminishing Returns. If you're intention is to stick with more casual shooting the two bundled lenses will serve you well. And if you DO you decide you do want to get into photography right up to your arm pits, the D7500 has the horsepower to take you a long, long way down that path. If, and only IF... You're sure you're dead serious about this, and have some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket I could suggest you buy a D7500 body (sans kit altogether) and consider putting any spare cash into some seriously top-notch glass (which can separate you - quickly - from any spare ducats you may have set aside for this). D7500 bodies (no lenses no spare battery, nothing else) sell for $1,250 or about $400 less than your Costco bundle. Going this more advanced route in my mind means considering learning to shoot raw images and post-process them; which is an [I]entirely[/I] new can of worms and a whole different side of photography you may or may not want to pursue. It just depends on how far you think you want to take this whole Photography Thing and of course... How much you want to spend. [/QUOTE]
