Costco Camera Deals.

Robusto · 04-05-2008, 07:21 AM

My wife and I were kicking around the CDA Costco last night after getting some dinner at our fav brew pub and they had just recieved 2 new Camera Kits.

I don't remember the exact specs, etc but:

Canon XTi with a 18-55 IS and a 55-220??? IS lens for around 1099

(I was taken aback when i saw both lenses were the IS lenses--I thought they were waiting to release the IS lenses in the kit with the XSi)

NIkon D60 with 18-55 VR and 55-220??? VR lens for around 999.

Costco - Nikon D60 10.2MP 2.5" 18-55mmVR 55-200mmVR Image Stabilization

(This seemed like a very good deal to me)

Anyway, I truly apologize for not remembering all the EXACT specs and costs, but I thought the IS and VR lenses they had on the info sheets and the prices (esp for the D60) were worth posting up for anyone in the market for a new kit right now.

I hope this proves useful. I couldn't find a linky for the Canon.

A question for the more knowledgable folks from DSLR noob:

These seemed like pretty good deals, esp the nikon, are they?

i am not sure about nikon but the lenses comes with the xti are cheap lenses. 18-55 lens is 175$ and i don't know 55-220 but if you meant 55-250 it is 280$. xti body only 520$. so if you buy them online it's cheaper. plus those lenses don't have any good reviews.

They can be, but as noted they come with cheap lenses. I bought mine from Costco as it was cheaper than I could find anywhere else, and for the same money it had the double lens kit. Sure, its cheap glass, but its better than nothing, besides I wanted some lenses I wouldn't be afraid to kick around while backpacking/skiing/etc.

Would someone mind posting up if they see the new XSi w/lens kit package at Costco in the next couple weeks, after it's been released? thanks!
