Canon EOS Digital Rebel T4i 18MP SLR Camera w/ 18-135mm STM Lens + 40mm Pancake STM Lens + $45 Adorama Gift Card $899 + Free Shipping

you think amazon will add this deal? have a $200 GC i want to use

Should i wait for Xmas sales or buy this? new to cameras here.

Every time I settle on waiting for a good 60d sale, a new t4i sale comes up that makes me debate getting it. Crap, I hate tough decisions!

Will Amazon Price Match this ?

Quote from LAXEsq : How useful is a 40mm pancake really going to be on a 1.6x crop body?

useful as a 64mm pancake?

Damn it now I need to return my t3i.

Quote from Deal_grab : Will Amazon Price Match this ?

not sure amazon is not matching any camera deal since black Friday.

I have a Canon Rebel T4i + 18-135 MM Lens, Is 18-135MM STM Lens worth the upgrade ?. Thanks for your time

I don't understand.....how is this deal that hot? The camera with the 18-135 is also $899 on Amazon. B&H is throwing you a free $150 lens. I feel like there have been hotter combo deals lately that came with more value in lenses, haven't there? I'll admit that I haven't been paying that close attention to the T4i, but wasn't there a deal just the other day that came with another (more expensive) lens than the 40mm pancake?

Edit: I see that the STM lens is not the one that it usually comes with at this price point. I take back all the bad things I was starting to think when I look at the separate value of that lens....

STM version has better focusing. Picture quality probably the same but lens is newer so it can be better.
It might be betetr lens for moving targets like kids, sports, etc.

My general comment is that people buy Canon because of deals liek this and other deals on lenses.
I love Nikon personally but decided to stay with Canon due to affordable lenses especially during sales like this.

you said it, free $150 lens.

People were wiping their pants after they saw the 899 price with 18-135 lens already. Add an additional 40mm lens to dick around with, you got a happy camper.

Best part? No tax for most.

i was about to post the same almost word for word

Quote from RLagarto : useful as a 64mm pancake?

Is that a little tight to you? I'd think a 30-35mm pancake would be preferable.

Because for 100 more you get the 40mm lens ($150 itself) and the 55-250mm ($250).

This is currently $300 less than amazon.
