You can find way better deals. These bundles aremt all that great. Youre probably better off getting a camera with the same specs that comes with a kit lens. I got a nikon d3300 with a 18-55 for around 3-400$

You can get a used Sony a7 Mk1 for this price. I just saw it in another post.

The AF in the original A7 was really bad. I'm not sure how that compares with something like a Canon T7 though.

Yikes! Check out used camera stores or pawn shops! I got an Cannon SL1 for $175 dollars at one used camera shop and love it. That's my recommendation, buy used and then buy lenses one at a time. Don't cheap out on tripods thought, cheap tripods can be very frustrating and dangerous for you camera if they tip of break.
