Coming with those lenses, I can see how tempting that will be. But what you want to guard against is 1) gray market merchandise and 2) a seller which offers a sweet heart deal but hold back on accessories that would normally come with the camera - like the battery. Check them out before you buy from them. The D60 is a better deal. And being an owner of the XSi, I'd be inclined to tell you to go that way. Where are you buying this from?
