Just remember to check the sellers feedback. And if it seems too good to be true - it probably is. Might sound pinicky, but, if it doesn't state that it is in full working order email the seller and ask - otherwise they can turn round and say "I never said it worked" etc.

Let us know if you get anything! Doug.

For $400 you can get a Canon 30D body off of eBay and a very nice lens for up to $300 or so...I have the 30D and the Sigma 18-200mm OS for it, and am very pleased! Since the 30D is a prosumer model, it has much more heft to it, unlike the Rebel series--it's heavy and feels great, though the weight might be a detractor to some people, I'd much rather have too heavy than something cheaply made.

Just make sure you don't accidentally get a Canon D30... there's someone on this very forum who did that.

What are you talking about?

The D30 is a good camera....if you can get past the slow AF and 3.1MP.
