I'm not sure this is a good deal. You can probably get the T2i and these two lenses from Amazon for $850 when it's in stock. That's what I did.

Hi yall this is my first post in these fourms. Im a video engieneer by trade that has always liked taking stills. Im looking to get into the DSLR world and i think i have settled on the t2i for my first camera. Even tho its my first camera i have a pretty good knowledge of photography, simply because video and still cameras share a lot of technology. And of course framing and shot compostion has some simlarites between the 2. with that said what i dont have knowledge of is lensing and what are good ones to start with. this kit on EBAY seems like a great starter set.

now. i am going to be shooting plenty of video on this camera, so keep that in mind when i ask my questions. i shoot lots of Wakeboarding, MX and other action sports. I want to get into studio work aswell as landscape, and nature. Basically i will be very diverse in what i shoot. But action sports will be the primary to start.
So my questions are these.
1. are the 2 lenses that comes with that package i listed before fast focusing ? shooting action the focus needs to be sharp and fast, so i cant have any dog slow lenses in my bag?
2. be it that these arent the top of the line 2.8 apertures how will they perform in not optimal natural lighting conditions?
3. for stuido work can this body trigger multiple flashes, or do i have to get softboxes that has constant light goin?
4. should i bite the bullet and buy the 7d ? or is the t2i a solid camera. the 100% price increase is a lot but it seems like the technonlgy isnt all that different, cept the fps. which is great on the 7d. But like a year or 2 ago 3.7 was considered very fast. So do i really need the 8fps ?
5. Should i not get this package and just buy the body and get other lenses ?
6. any other input would be great. im all ears for what ever you guys can tell me. thanks a lot in advance, and Hi to all my fellow DSLR users, i already learned a lot reading your posts, and i cant wait to learn more from all of u !
