This EOS 50D is a professional camera, it's NOT like the ones sold in costco and other retail outlets. This camera is made like the good old days, except better. I camera is made of metal, I believe titanium. I bought a bunch of goodies to go with it. It has hardly been used and looks brand new with no scratches dings of any sort. The two lenses: 28-80mm, 70-300 tele-macro( this can take close up and very far photos), .45 super wide angle lenses (I dropped this lens so you can not thread on a filter to it, but it dosent effect the pic quality at all), and a semi fish-eye that needs a converter to fit one on the other lenses. I also have2X uv filters, 1X cpl,1X fld, anda soft 2 filter - and cases for them all. There is also a 62-58 adapter so that you can use them on either lens. The filters worked great for catching shots of fish and corals. There are two sun shades for the lenses (Im sure these have a real name :) lol) The camera also comes with a hand held shutter release that works up to some 100 ft. The camera also has two or three different time release modes, but the hand held works wonders! It saves lots of time, and makes for shake free photos. You of course get the battery, charger, usb, 8gb compact flash memory card, a dvd and bookabout the camera, a not so great tripod, and the awesome flipside 200 backpack ($169). I'm sure I'm forgetting something...This really is an awesome camera and what I hear a really tough one the make the retail models really arnt meant to last. This big boy feels great in the hand and takes beautiful photos. Enough said, have a look at the photos and let me know if you have any questions. There are a lot of websites out there that will explain all of the awesome feature of this camera. Thanks This site has a ton of info!
