In a word, yes.

Get the nifty fifty, and save up for a fast prime (L)

I'd say that's a good price for the XSi. Altho I don't like the SD set up. I donno why they didn't just keep the CF set up.

As for the extra $100 for the 3 items, not a good deal. If you shop around, you can get all that for about $50 like you said at Henry's.

Wait for the show and go and do some bargaining.

Yeah I discovered pretty quick the kit is not worth it. I thought it had a battery grip but it didnt when I double checked.

I really dont know why they went to SD. It would have been nice to reuse the CF's I have now.
