Cannon 300D

Postby Lostboy » Fri Jan 08, 2010 1:05 am

Was over my mates house and his mam had her college tutor over taking some random pics for course work, took a few pics of me to show me how to make some cool looking pics, correct me please but this is what I remember him saying.

30 second exposure ? and using a torch my mates mam drew something behind me (was meant to be a halo and wings) it didn't turn out too bad (and now I know how to make them groovy pics)

He said he was using a Cannon 300D and it was old but still pretty good and can be picked up for £50-150, I'm tempted by this as the price range isn't bad and the picture quality was good for an oldish camera, are these worth the money?

any DSLR for £50-£150 with a lens is worth it IMO.

I've no idea what they are worth or even what DSLR means. But it made pretty photos and a clicky sound.

if it is a DSLR then yep £50 would be bang on, I'm not googling it for you though.

DSLR means Digital Single Lense Reflex. Wikipedia is your friend ;) if you are looking at spending that amount of money then I would urge you to look at the 350d's too, think they are on ebay for about £100-£200! Good camera's too!

Get a new computer sorted and get your car fixed before you start talking about buying something else that you can't afford yet :p

Thanks for that I'll have a look at them too.

The computer does the job for now so that can stay for now, as for the car meh, I can afford £100-200 for something that's worth it.

I think you should stump up the extra £50 or so and get a 350d...much better :tu: Photography is an expensive hobby though dude. Fix your shed first :pmsl:

I wont be buying new lenses on a weekly basis, just a couple of bits to make some decent pics of my car and random stuff. I'm not going to do a Jaffa and go out and take pics of semi naked men illuminated only by the moon.

I assume something like this is good? Ebay

Yeah that's a good set up mate. As far as not getting new bits all the time......famous last words, trust me! There will be 5 or 6 of us on here who've all said that at some point.

Lol I'll probably still be spending all my money on my shed instead of camera gear, but if that lot for £150 is worth it and I could find that kind of bundle again when I have some money spare I'll definitely get it.

Just to let you know

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canon-Canon-Digital-Rebel-XT-EOS-350D-EF-S-18-55mm-Lens_W0QQitemZ370317437178QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDigital_Cameras?hash=item5638a3a8fa

£225 ROUGHLY and thats with a good stock lense on it, the silver ones are a rare model in the uk, Jessops did them as Exclusive due to the Rebel (American name for the EOS series camera) being silver.

I personally PREFER it in silver.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CANON-EOS-350D-WITH-CANON-28-90mm-LENS-SUPERB-DSLR_W0QQitemZ260534574718QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN?hash=item3ca9121e7e

this second one is the same body but with a better lense than the stock one.

either way, a BETTER purchase than a 300d!!!
