apart from the camera and the memory card, all that kit is junk. i would get the 5d and a good lens from a reputable seller...

No deal there. Way too much to pay for a 5D and 50 cents worth of crappy accessories.

camera and memory is the only thing you'd ever use out of that, the rest could be had at a garage sale for .25

buying a 5da nd cheepo lenses will produce cheepo images. lenses make the biggest difference in image quality. if its a matter of money, i'd get a different body and better lenses first. there was a used 1Ds for 2200 on this board yesterday, dunno if its still there

I second that. Most of the "kits" on ebay are junk.

That's the same price as the 5d from B&H. So, where would you go to get the 5d new?
