Cacnon 350D Twin Lens Kit??

Hi guys.

After some opinion on this..

At JB Hi-Fi they have a Canon 350D Twin Lens Kit..
- 18-55mm f3.5-5.6
- 75-300mm f4-5.6 Tele Lens

For $1597 (normally $1850 or so).

Good value?

I know the stock lenses aren't going to be great, but I can't afford to spend another $1000 just for a lens. I want to use this camera for terrestrial photography (I like landscapes) as well as the odd widefield milkyway shot. In the future I'd like to do prime focus astrophotography with it (when I get a proper EQ mount), but that's a while off as my EQ platform isn't accurate enough to do it now.

What else is included in this usual kit? Batteries? Rechargers? Remotes? Memory cards?

What other costs do I need to consider?

I also have the option of 12 month interest free so can play now pay later

I really can't afford it, but I really want a DSLR and $300 off might be a good time to get one.

Any advice appreciated.
