    Sorry but I am not able to use your link and see the details to your options, so I do know this, Your links are to Canon's website and that you can probably get better deal on the those Canons from a competitive photo dealer. So below I included some links, I tried to make each link so that it would take you to that dealers list of Canon DSLR deal. You may need to click on a "add to cart" from time to time to see the actual final price.

    To give you some basic prices, you can get a Canon DSLR with just one lens, a short zoom (18-55mm) for as little as $449 with free shipping and dealer buydig listed below is including a 2GB SD memory card. The other vendor below, B&H Photo, has 2 different Canon kits where you will get the camera and 2 lenses, a short zoom (18-55mm) and a telephoto zoom. One of these kits is only $670 and the other is only $749.

    Hope this helps.

    Good luck.

    Your links don't work.

    Basically, buy a quality body, Canon is one of those. Then buy the best lens you can afford.
