MSRP for JUST the camera from sonystyle.com is $400. Anyone ever used this camera specifically? Ive used the DSC-H5 and its done BEAUTIFULY! The DSC-H5 sadly isnt for sale on ebay quite yet but did awesome video and pictures.

Just so you all can get a idea of how massive 12x OPTICAL zoom is take a look at this:

This helicopter was well over 1-2 miles away..

HOWEVER! That photo was taken with the DSC-H5 7.2Mpix camera and im actually getting the DSC-H2 camera. ive never used the camera and have no idea how good it is before i buy it i would like to know someone elses insights about it.

If you have a better camera for the same price w/ this package deal please post!

I know where you can get a factory refurbished d50 body, but that's a really expensive road to go down

I assume that you are familiar with the site http://dpreview.com - this is, IMO, the premier camera review site on the 'net.
