I have thought long and researched until I to this DSLR kit have gefriffen. I have long analog photographed, starting with (now) very old analog Spiegelreflexsytemen of Pentagon, Stieg my in the digital world, I found a Nikon 80D. Since I had only a very limited budget available, but wanted to cover a broad field, I endschied me for this kit for personal introduction to DSLR photography. In general, I must say that it was worth it, if only from the price / performance ratio. The body is a solid, albeit simple workhorse. Of course the higher classes offer, if only from the design and the material produces a better performance and especially a better handling (the EOS 500D is simply a bit small for a completely relaxed handling, particularly in fast and complicated live situations) but that is is not the point here and its one should also, as I be aware of when buying. Then she offers a lot for the price. With the lens combination. is one good gerüsstet for changing situations. I use it mainly for theater and Bühnenphotografie. Here she does a good job, because the combination of shutter speed and higher ISO settings (ISO 1600 at an average of t 1 / 80-1 / 160 and 4 f / 5.6) are easily traded without the noise too much negative attention. Combined with Photoshop or Lightroom you have a very good partner here. I use the kit for a month now and have already made first steps with HDR images. Here one already noted then the first weaknesses of the lenses, which are obviously not designed for such recording station wagon, but can be well bewälltigt with appropriate sensitivity and the extensive Ansteureungssoftware Canon. For entry into the digital SLR Photografie I can absolutely recommend the camera. Who has more experience with SLRs and can assess his field of activity, however, should have no place with the standard lenses enter, but equal to a little more to invest in higher-class. It's worth it to get out to the most of the body of the 500D. Conclusion: the price / quality is really to recommend this kit.
