Great camera to start your photography hobby / course. Comes with 18-55mm IS STM lens.
Not the cheapest so far but it's very close: http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=3000914

Also check out the 50mm F1.8 STM lens from Noel Leeming @ $159: https://www.cheapies.nz/node/5347
Note this is not the current model; the current ones are: 750D + 18-55 lens (around $870) or 760D ($929).
The Canon 100D is similar to this but smaller. Same price! http://shop.jbhifi.co.nz/digital-cameras/digital-camera-slr/…
The Canon 70D is also on sale, but I'd wait because the 80D is coming out shortly, thus 70D may be even cheaper soon: http://shop.jbhifi.co.nz/digital-cameras/digital-camera-slr/…
A really decent camera for the price!
