Most of the used m50's are running 2x - 3x as expensive as this deal, typically with 1 lens, with unknown number of shutter clicks, uncertainty of condition, and many with a whopping 14 day warranty.
Verdict: T7 for the win.
Edit: oops, this deal was so bad it already sold out lol.

I had my cart loaded and it was discounting, now its not.
Guess I waited too long to pull the trigger?

One of the biggest cons is that Canon gimped the flash mount so most "affordable" third party flashes aren't compatible. So you might save some cash on the body, but you're going to spend more if you want another flash.
Regarding the lenses; the 18-55mm lens is pretty decent, especially for the price. Build quality is decent. It focuses reasonably fast. It's sharp and has very little fringing/chromatic issues. The bokeh is good too. Are there better zoom lenses out there? Absolutely, but I doubt you'd find much better in this price range.
The 75-300mm lens however is another story. On the wide side it's good (for the price). However the closer you get to 300mm the worse things get. I found that somewhere between 75-200mm is the len's sweet spot. Regardless it's always soft and there's lots of fringing in high contrast situations. Sometimes the bokeh turns out great, but sometimes it goes the other way and ends up looking pretty bad.
All of that said, if you're on a budget and want to get into photography this is a great bundle (again, for the price) If you've got a better budget though look elsewhere. In the long run you'll be much happier if you get something better, and most importantly; manage to avoid the 75-300mm lens.
