Do you know if there is a good package deal for the lenses. Also I'm very new to slr I can still take pictures before I get other lenses?

Check ebay for lenses sold in packaged deals. As long as you have at least one compatible lens you can take pictures (of course you'll need a compatible memory card as well). Also, be sure to research Nikon's current DSLRs because at this point the D70s is dated. It's still a capable camera, but there are several newer bodies available that have replaced this one.

I don't know of any package deals on lenses, but I do know this price for a D70s is a rip off. You can get the same model for well under $1000. And if you're new to DSLR's, you don't need a bunch of lenses anyway. Google "nikon d70s kit" or "d70s kit lens." The kit lens is fine for a beginner.

There are some really good deals on eBay - Camedia has been good to deal with. The quality of the elns will make a big difference to some, but I got the mid-low end range and have been very happy with them. If you plan to do more outdoor work, they are great. They high end lenses come into play in low-light and closeup conditions. If you just get one lens to start, I'd recommend a 25-70mm zoom. It's a good all-purpose lens.

They are worth $200-300 in like new condition. A brand new kit lens is under $150 more.

Thanks for your help Brewster. I wouldn't mind getting a SLR, but I'm afraid it might be too complicated?! Is there one that you'd recommend?

I would be very cautious for such a good deal. It may be real but you may want to double check again. A while ago, Amazon has the body + 14 to 52 mm lens for 588. If you buy the 40 to 150 lens, it will be just a bit over 700. Not as cheap as 630 but still a pretty good deal.

I was not familiar with the brands. The extras were not expensive or high quality. The tripod was pretty bad. I gave it away as I already have a nice (and expensive) tripod. I don't know if it would technically hold the lens, but I was not interested in finding out. The bag is a decent padded bag that I use for some of my less sensitive camera accessories. The lens itself comes with a nice canon fitted case. I bought this kit because it was the same price as another offer for just the lens and I figured the extras wouldn't hurt. Some I have found useful and some not so much. If you can get the lens at a better price, probably just buy the lens, but if this is still the best price on offer, it isn't a bad deal as long as I know that you are paying for the lens and not the extras.

Thanks for the info. I don't think I'm quite ready to pay that kind of money for a lens for a camera that I paid $600.00 for. May as well upgrade the camera and keep the lens. I do appreciate the reply.

Hi Brian, if you're buying new, this particular package is supposed to come with all the accessories. But if you're buying used, I'd recommend checking the descriptions from each seller because some of them are missing the lens.

Yes, I did receive both the camera and the lens in separate original boxes (from Canon). I think the camera is a very good deal... so far I only have good reviews for it!

Alpha are usually the bigger / heavier ones, nex (3,5,6 and 7 at this time) are mirrorless and lighter...I would suggest seeing them at the stores first then look online esp here at amazon for great deals. Usually bundles are the great deals esp with additional lenses which are not cheap and hardly goes on sale. Sony did a great thing with the a7 which kind of combines the alpha and nex though not cheap...oh and the lens mount are different with the 2 also but they have an adapter you can buy. Nobody said photography is cheap :-) hope this helps...

Yes all lens and everything are the real deal the only thing that's not great is the flash but if you look up the value of that flash is only like $10 just spend $50 extra and get you a great one.

The listing is for a new camera, and a kit lens. So you'd be getting the camera in a box, and a lens in one if I recall correctly. If you want to look at used models, there is a link on that page that takes you to them, and that explains amazons guarantee in that regard.

Okay, thanks a lot, new at this and I wasn't sure if the lens quality is the same. I appreciate everyone's help!

Its a bunch of products with the package, tripod, lenses and the pro flash (btw you'll need batteries for the flash). Although a great starter camera, with the lenses as an addition it makes a great bundle as a medium range camera experience wise.

Hello, do you still have Nikon J3's in stock with the 2 lens package and if so what colors? Also can you send me a link to the case you would recommend for this camera and both lens?

The lenses are good for the money; however, you may want to consider as an alternative is the 16 -105mm SONY Alpha zoom lens. http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&sto;reId=10151&langId;=-1&productId;=8198552921665233510 If I had to do it over, I would purchase the camera body plus the aforementioned lens. The 2 kit lenses that come with the package are dog poo by comparison.

Different vendors sell items at different prices depending on their inventories. I am satisfied with the lens it came repacked in a box with all the labeled items and it is brand new. I would buy it again at $700 any day if i needed another one. Best of luck on your decision. :)
