Right

Im seriously contemplating the purchase of a DSLR before the TVR Speed Championship at Harewood, late august and have seen a couple of deals on fleabay which Im rather interested in....


Before I go off and buy something from Ebay, I was wondering if anyone on Ebay was selling a DSLR??

Ideally, Im looking for a Canon, but Nikons are considered

Must come with a lens (whether its the standard 18-55mm or extras?) battery, software, cables etc

Budget is a maximum of £300

TIA

Hi Jag,
My wife has a Canon 300D with 18-55 kit lens and battery grip (which doubles the battery capacity) From memory it is two and a bit years old (bought for Xmas)and has only had normal "hobby" use, so is in very good condition.
She has hinted that she is interested in an upgrade to something else Canon as she has a built up some other Canon glass and a Speedlite flashgun.
I'll get the details later tonight when I see her and pass them on, may be of some interest to you.

The D70S is mine, I just upgraded to a D200. I've got it advertised at £450 with a 70-300 ED Zoom lens, a couple of memory cards and all the original boxes and accessories. Admittedly it's more than you wanted to spend, but it's in A1 condition and it's a desirable setup. There's a bit of room for negotiation as it's just sat in the box doing nowt smile

Daft question ... but what the hell have you been using all this time? I thought you had digital and it didn't look like a compact confused

having said that, I have never looked that closely but the results certainly seemed to come from a decent camera ;yes:

Howdo Al

Ive been using a Fuji S5600 which is a bridge camera aimed at people wanting to move up a step from point and click...only problem was, its been a good camera, but Ive noticed a lot of hazr and blurring especially on the motorsport shots and as a result its time to buy something better biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Ah bugger, if only I'd have seen this last night; I am selling a Canon 20D (6000 images old) for not-much-more above what you paid for the 10. Doh!

How did I know someone would come along with a comment like that laugh


Nevermind Tony


The 10d Ive purchased has only had 7600 actuations, comes with a spare battery and a battery grip, but no lens which isnt a problem as a friend of mine is helping me out on the shopping list for that one


Im really looking forward to having a play with it too smile

Cracking camera and you'll love it!

I have an 18-55mm kit lens for sale and a 28-200mm F4.5-5.6 Tamron lens if you're interested (clearing out some old kit!).
