    Canon XSi Ebay Advice, Please help

    Hey guys. I am totally new to the DSLR realm and would appreciate some good advice. I am looking to purchase a Canon Rebel XSi with a lens. My price range is from around $750-800. I have two options that I am mulling over at the moment.

    Option A:
    Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi SLR Camera /Lens Kit, - Black - with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Stabilizer Lens - Refurbished - 4GB SD Memory Card, Spare LP-E5 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery, Slinger Camera Bag, Magic Lantern Guides, Book with DVD
    Priced at $553.
    I would also want to purchase a few lower end lenses for different occations. Equaling around $800.

    Option B:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-EOS-Rebel-...item20b4b51109

    I am curious if anyone knows if the items included in the eBay bundle are just junk, or is it a better deal? Thanks in advance for any responses. I appreciate it.

    Most bundles are junk.
    In this case I'd say the .40x Super Wide Angle Fisheye Lens, 2x Telephoto Lens, +1,+2,+4,+10 Close Up Macro Kit, UV Filter + PL Filter + FLD Filter, 50" Titanium Anodized Tripod, and 6 Piece Starter Kit - all dubious because you don't know the quality of them.
    The Tamron lenses are a reputable make.
