Title: Want my first DSLR...
Post by: TheRaven on 04 December 2011, 12:30
But I don't have much money and cannot warrant spending a small fortune on a camera, so I found this, and was wondering on your expert opinions, it's decent, cheap and the lenses aren't ridiculously expensive either!

Opinions please!  :nerd:

It's a decent camera, but the old model.

I am selling the newer 1100D model with the better 18-55 EF-S III lens for £280 delivered to your door. Brand new in box never been used - same as below. Going to put it on ebay this week if not!

That comet one isn't that much of a deal, I got the same body with the IS lens for £20 more about a year ago.

What would you recommend for roughly the same price tag?

To be fair actually it's not a bad deal it just seems i got a really good deal when I got mine. For £300 you can't go wrong!

All these are taken on a 1000d with several different lenses.
