I started a post a while ago about getting my first slr on a budget. I have looked into some offers but I want to be sure I've covered all the bases before I purchase something. That being said, I like the rebel line, but I also prefer the feel of any XXD (I've borrowed both from friends).
So does anyone have a 30D, 20D, XTi, or anything of that caliber that they are looking to sell (MAYBE even a 40D for cheap)? Like I said, I'm on a budget, so I want to stay in the $300-$500 range ($500 being with a kit or extras). I need to pick up an 85 1.8 before hockey season starts and stay between $800-$1000 total. I wont be able to actually make a purchase for about 2 more weeks, but I am willing to talk and make a deal. If you have any of the items mentioned above and youre wanting to sell them, let me know. Thanks!
emailed you.
You should have no trouble finding what you need. I bought my daughter a Rebel XT with vertical grip and three extra batteries for $300 of a e-Bay last year.
This morning, I took a friend's daughter to Arlington Camera and we found a very nice 20D with three extra batteries for $350. There were two very nice used 30D's there as well.
The price for used equipment seems very resonbable right now.
I have a 30D with BG-E2 battery grip, in Excellent Plus condition, that I'm currently listing for $650 shipped. It has less than 20,000 actuations and has been in a case as my back-up camera for the past year. It was used most recently for a 2nd shooter at a wedding and performed flawlessly.
The kit includes 2 off-brand batteries (excellent), a charger, strap, AA insert for the grip and body cap.
For an extra $50, I'd throw in my Canon EF 50mm F1.8 MKII. Super small, light and very, very sharp.
I'd be willing to unbundle this package. Let me know if you are interested.
