This combination is only $449 after the $350 rebate which expires April 2, 2016. I run similar promotions and purchased these type of packages from Canon over the years and they are really great about paying your rebate often in the form of a prepaid credit card from American Express.

If you do the math, you are paying practically less than $200 for the Canon T5i camera body if you don't need the two lenses and are willing to sell the printer with in combination separately.

Yes, the T5i is an older camera body but it has an 18 megapixel sensor, flip out LCD screen, five frames per second, Wi-Fi, and pretty much all these features that you might not ever use as an amateur photographer. If you are pro-photographer, you might just want to keep the printer and sell the rest off and you will pretty much get the printer for free. What I'm saying is you can't lose as long as you purchase it, and send in the rebate immediately. It takes usually less than two months for the rebate to arrive.

Compared to Amazon:
