Which camera to get out of my two offers...
Been offered a Canon 30D, just the body without the lens 2 batterys all the leads etc for £260, but then i have to spend god knows how much on a good lens.
Or....
I could get a Canon 20D with a efs18-55mm lens (dont know if this is any good) for about £250.
Decissions, discuss ....

seeing as you can get a kit lens for £25 id be going with the 30d.
but both are good offres and you will be very happy with which ever you choose.
EDIT - BTW everyone will say 20d as they want the 30d

haven't bought it yet dude. 40D and 10D are staying.
Was having a right nightmare with 40D the other day, turns out I forgot my user settings had been reset when it was sent it in for repair.... that was 6 months ago
