Today I saw at some online market a Canon 1100d limited promotion that contains Canon EOS 1100D body + 18-55mm DC + 75-300mm DC + EF 50mm f/1.8. Is it worth it for microstock ?

Depends on how much.

I have used the 1100D to try it out as back up, its a good cam, its good for stock, but it has its limitations obviously. If you are going to use it as emergency back up, its a good cam for sure.

The 18-55 is a good little work horse, 900 of my images were shot with the 18-55. I dont know about the 75-300, but I have the 55-250 and I am not impressed by it. Its really soft at the long end. Its also not a fast lens.

The nifty fifty is always a good choice, its tack sharp, very fast and has great bokeh.

So it really depends on the pricing and what how you plan to use it

The camera costs 720 $ and I plan to use it only for taking pictures to sell them on microstock sites.

With a tight budget you might also look at Nikon D5100. The 18-55mm VR Lens that comes with the camera is OK. There are some good 50mm lens very cheap. If you are into macro you should also look at Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens.

Canon EOS Rebel T5i DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens, 18MP, 3.0" Touchscreen LCD, Full HD 1080p Video $999.00

For 200 dollar more a whole lot more camera

Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital SLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens 18 MP - Bundle with 32GB SD Memory Card $849.00

100 dollar more.

I know the kit with 3 lenses is appealing but the lens is important as well, you might want to get a good body and save up for a better lens.
