is this a good deal ?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8943076&st=xsi+bag&lp=9&type=product&cp=1&id=1215217301008

comes with the bag, extra battery, and a lens filter..


Compatible with Canon XSI digital SLR cameras
Includes carrying case, lithium-ion battery, lens cleaning cloth and UV filter
All-weather cover on carrying case protects against harsh elements; tricot-brushed fabric interior protects your camera against bumps and scratches
Removable, adjustable dividers, so you can customize the bag for your needs
Built-in memory card organizer and extra pockets for accessory storage
Lithium-ion battery provides power to up to 600 shots per charge
58mm UV filter (compatible with Canon LP-E5) protects the lens against scratches and filters out UV for clearer pictures
Microfiber lens and LCD cleaning cloth to remove smudges

Im asking because I don't really want a big bag, just for my XSI and its lens that will be at the moment..

usually I stay away from these kits but I think this is ok...
If you like the bag and need a "canon" battery, this is pretty good because from amazon, the bag is 65 and the battery is 35 which is $100.
The filter is probably garbage, but it is free and the lens cloth is just a $5 accs. but then again, it is another $5 towards an accs...
to each their own. and if they have it at your local BB, there's also instant gratification.
Good luck.

I picked up that kit back in December because I was in a hurry to have a bag for my XS. Not bad. No problems with the battery. Filter is pretty much crap. The bag is nice, but I am at my limit with it already, probably get a backpack next.

Please do not do this nor recommend it. Multiple threads in multiple areas won't lead to any extra help. It actually leads to less help since the poster may have different conversations going on at once. Instead use the report post button if you think something is posted in the wrong section. Thanks

Well, im only planning to get one more lens... and thats gonna be one of those wide shots.

So in the bag I'll be carrying

Camera(xsi)
Original Lens (18-55mm)
SD cards
Battery
Charger
USB cable/Card Reader

They have a couple other cheaper Bags at BB but for 10-15 more bucks, i think i could use an extra battery..

Mainly I don't want a big bag..
The "official" rebel bag they have for like 100+ its kinda too big.
This one's smaller.

The Canon 200DG bag should cover all that stuff.

I'd suggest not. Get your self a decent bag that you LIKE. Not something that you will end up throwing in the closet. Check out some of the bags in the sticky.

Get extra batteries from www.sterlingtek.com, you will save money.

well the thing is.. i dont really care how it looks.. as long as it doesnt have bright colors.
I just want a bag to put the camera in with the accessories.I realize that i need to ahve with me the charger / extra battery / sd card reader... or usb... anyway the idea is that I', not looking for something amazing... just for something to hold my camera in.

my friend receiver a bag with his camera... a M GEAR bag.... i cant seem to find one online.. i only found one on ebay used...
That bad I would buy if it was affordable...

What I meant was go down and try some out. Put your stuff in it, walk around with it and see if it's comfortable, doesn't annoy you. Feel the weight, how it fits on you. Always a good idea. If you can't than the next best thing is some reviews.
