OK, total noob here. I'm going to be volunteering at a free health clinic in south Africa for the coming year, Aside from my role as an active nurse i'm also tasked with handling outreach to the community and making sure people know we are here when they need us, would this a good to 1. be long lasting in high heat and rainy conditions, And 2. i'm expecting this to be handled by quite a few people and this being dropped at least a few times. Do you think this can hold up?

Deciding whether this bundle is better than the costco bundle. Seems like with the wide angle and macro lenses plus flash and other items it's better than costco. Hopefully buydig is reputable.
Appreciate the input, this seems a bit steep for my budget though, and it doesn't come with all the extra stuff. i'm making a list of my options ATM and comparing the pros and cons of all. Definitely considering it though especially because i need one that will last.
OK you attached a link but you have an explain why it should be almost twice as expensive justified ?? Give us something to read and understand why you say you like Coke versus Pepsi

It looks like costco bundle is better because of the 2 year extended warranty. The accessories are nice but apparently worth not much. Thanks OP for the post nonetheless and repped you.
Anyone looking for doing really good photography ...don't buy bundle...just go with body only and buy 3 lenses ...for zoom with vr (50-200 or 70-300) , portrait lens (35 or 50mm fixed), and 24-70 for everything else ....and if you get good deals on lens or buy refurbished or used (mint condition) you should not be looking for more than 1000 bucks total ...buying bundle is only for beginners and eventually you will upgrade if you get serious, so why not save money upfront by not paying for these cheap lenses included

Any suggestions on camera body? Which is better Nikon or cannon

If you want a bigger camera with some zoom I would go with the fz 300. It is weather sealed and takes great pictures for the price. If not something that big I would get a go pro like someone else suggested.

While this is cheap I wouldn't expect it to hold up to bad climate conditions or physical abuse. You really need something with proper weather sealing.
