Still fuzzy on this. The camera body and memory are included, but it comes without lenses, so it's not a ready-to-use out-of-the box item, right? And

If it says camera body only, then it does not come with a lens.I bought a used A100 and it came as body only, camera card, battery and charger. No lens. Still a good deal!

I ordered this camera because it clearly states "includes 40mm pancake lens". But alas, when it arrived, there was no lens included. I've not been able to figure out how to contact anyone for an explanation, so I will return it. It

Yes..mine was a boxed set, prepackaged by Nikon "not to be sold seperately"; Body, two lenses, strap, battery and charger, etc...

Hmm, it seems that Canon believes that the kits should come first because they are higher revenue than the body. Those of us cheapskates who forego the lens should wait. Now if only the camera worked without a lens. It seems I spent a lot more money on getting a better lens from Canon than I would have had I accepted the lens that comes from the kit. Surely the bodies should come first - it is the true enthusiast that would buy a body only and then complement it with a good lens?

I haven't tried the camera yet. I plan on trying it this weekend. It is getting easier to use the other features._

It came with: The camera body, a 18-55 mm lens, 55-200mm lens with it's own bag, battery with charger, extra battery kit (with battery, charger and Euro adapter as well as car charger), those three filters, a 64gig memory stick, a useless little table tripos, cable to hook it to a TV, super cool USB adapter (put the SD card in and there is a USB on the other side of a thumb drive sized thing). Also a case which is meh.I think that covers it. Awesome package. I'm really happy with it, though I will be buying a better case soon. Probably an Ape Case.

Does not, but should be included. Also, it does not come with a memory chip. Other than these items, the camera is Primo.

It should come with the lense, sometimes the battery might be already out, so you have to check if the battery works, if not you can buy one on Amazon

My camera was new. As far as I can remember, it included a memory card, battery charger, and case. I am a photographer and love this camera. I carry it more than my big camera because it is small, lightweight, and takes great pictures.

Dear Brian:yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let the customer/consumer pick up one of their own.hope this helps!love,joyce Dear Brian:yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let... » Read More Dear Brian:yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let the customer/consumer pick up one of their own.hope this helps!love,joyce « Show Less

thank you, i've got the body only from local dealer, he sold me the camera without kit lens for $799. you might want to try that with your local dealers. i did get a delivery date from amazon in mid may or june but i cancelled the order. i have tons of youtube partnership videos to shoot and time is money.

Yes it does. It comes with all kinds of goodies. Lenses I don't know what to do with yet, too! Awesome camera! I had a pro tell me it was an excellent choice.

I only had the camera for about a week before I returned it. For simple photos, this camera is fine but otherwise I would advise against getting it and perhaps spending a few more bucks on a better one like a Nikon or Canon. Otherwise yes, as I recall it came with all of those

As you may know, the camera is out. Mine is due to arrive from Amazon tomorrow. (I pre-ordered back in February)For some sample photos taken in hands of real users here's a link <<Please note: at the bottom another photographer "phat-slug" included 14 pictures taken that can be blown up for evaluation>>http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1007&thread;=37922920

Well, that's it for me. Just got another notice that the shipment date has been pushed back to 4 Sep 06. Thanks for the tip about Adorama. I'm going to check out their seller rating/prices. I'm really irritated with Amazon right now since I ordered this camera from them (not a vendor) at a good sale price. About $750 for the camera body with both lenses. Of course, that doesn't mean much if they don't ship the camera. The aggravation of waiting over two months isn't worth it. And of course, the page still states that Amazon ships in 1-2 weeks.

You probably need to check the technical information. I recently purchased this camera and have been very happy with it. To a novice user, it doesn't appear that you can add a lense.

Yes, Vivian, everything you need is included and the lens is attached to the camera. Recommend a 2nd battery so you don't miss a photo.
