Try here for seconhand stuff hxxp://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/

E2A: The XXXD models are made from plastic where as the XXD's are magnesium alloy, another thing to look out for.

have I chosen the dark side

:starwars:


To be honest i was looking at that as it was a seemingly descent body with two lenses at a decent price but I'm completely open to suggestions and in all honesty i don't think my dad will let me anywhere near his collection of lenses, the phrase 'from my cold dead hands' springs to mind lol.

It seemed like a good deal, if anyone can point me in a different/better direction I'll have a look.

Budget can probably go as high as 600 squids.

Cheers mrm,
I was looking at taking landscape and wildlife shots, pics of my lovely ladies, maybe some street photography and my girlfriend is a seamstress so pics of her creations for her website.


And actually the budget can go higher, I'm willing to invest in something I'll use for a long time and like I say upgrade lenses as I get better, I have some training from my old man but it's a hobby I really want to get back into.

I love this place, always someone willing to help out :yep:

I would go for a 40/50/60D SH and get a good kit type lens to start with.
Unless you want to go to the darkside :pitchfork:

That camera bundle looks liek it would suit you fine then :yep:, looks a good deal TBH

I would only buy second hand if i could get it alot cheaper...

I've got a Cannon 18-50mm lens around the house somewhere you can have if you want, Iky gave it to me but i can't use it.

Check out YONGNUO YN460 for cheap flashes and the macro lens i use is only a cheap Sigma 50mm.

Photoshop won't recover images that are way too noisy for example so if shooting in low light is your thing then you need a system that will cope. So IMO it does matter what system you buy for the requirements you need.

There's no fungus/dust inside the glass, but feels light so i take it there's no motor.

Make sure your the camera has motor in body to focus it :yep:

Movement is fine..
