Which camera to get out of my two offers... - Saxperience

Elliott · 3rd April 2009, 08:58

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

Fair enough.
Is that lens on the 20D good?
What will the kit lens be like for £25? Links?

don55 · 3rd April 2009, 13:09

that is a kit lens, its ok, but they go very cheap, there there most basic lens that canon make.

just seen the advert for the 30d, if a decent offer on a 1dmkIII hadn't come up i would have taken it.

don55 · 3rd April 2009, 13:12

you got a 1d mkIII, you mentalist.

sell me your 40d

or partX with my 30

Barry123 · 3rd April 2009, 13:17

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

don55 · 3rd April 2009, 13:24
