Canon SLR EOS 350D BLK 18-55

[kpowell911]

Hi, I'm looking at buying the camera from the cannon refurbish shop from ebay, Hoping to get it for about £250.

However, This is/will be my first SLR. I've read a few Guides, But still have a few more questions. The camera will mainly be used for stationary objects, IE pics of my car ETC, However, The main reason for buying this camera is a trip to New York.

My only issue is will i lose all aspect of point and click with this camera, I appreciate to get the best results I will need to fiddle with it for each photo, But is there an auto mode which will enable me to spend a little less time settign up each photo. I imagine in central manhatten, I'm not going to impress anyone stopping to set m ycamera up every few moments

also, I presume 18-55 is the included Lens? How is this? Would i be looking at something else for these shots or is the 18-55mm one fine?

thanks

Plenty of "point and click" modes on the 350d!

Legend, Thanks, I've bid one one

P mode, its like an auto that you pick a few features on, you decide the ISO, flash up/down, metering and focus points.

There's also a few modes with little pictures on but err forget what they are prob the same as any point and shoot...

 

[will.clio]

same as what i use, its like a maze at times with all the features etc although theres some great guides on the net for it!

 

[kpowell911]

I? got outbid and lost it

Can get it brand new for £329.99, Is that a good price?

thanks

 

[Pettsi]

I think you can get a 400D for that price now?

 

[kpowell911]

[Pettsi]

Very close to that price for a new camera.

 

[kpowell911]

The £329 is brand new. for a 350D. Is the 400D that much better?

For the price of the 400D, I could have a memory card and case for the 350D.

 

[Pettsi]

I spose so... You need to go into a camera shop and have a play..

I found the 350D abit too small for my hands...

 

[kpowell911]

is the 400D a much better camera? better quality of pics etc etc?

 

[Pettsi]

I couldn't tell you. Might be worth asking someone who has had both.

 

[kpowell911]

Thanks for your help mate

Why is the 350d more than the 400d on amazon btw?

 

[unofficialPete]

is the 400D a much better camera? better quality of pics etc etc?

IQ from the 350D to 450D even 30D and 40D is very similar.

The main difference between the 350D and 400D is the larger screen and improved 9-point AF system used in the 30D.

I've got a 400D, worth the extra money

 

[kpowell911]

Ordered a 400D with a 4GB card.

On the look out now for a case and tripod, Then lens' But I'm sure i will be mesmerized by the stock lens, Coming from a 3.0MP CyberShot

 

[Pettsi]

I've got this case. Its for both 350D and 400D. Nice snug fit.

I bought a Silver 400D from the outlet store on ebay came to 300 inc p+p..Not bad including a lens. Quick delivery too! Ive come from a 10.1MP Sony N2 and I think its the best buy Ive made in ages. Just making a post with pics in photography section...

Ive just bid and won one of these refurb 350d and was going to ask the same.

I got it for £260 in the end ...Im just hopeing it includes the lens.

Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow.

 

[kpowell911]

It came today, Awesome Bit of kit.

Just went and bought a tripod and camera case for it. Went for the 400D wit ha 18-55mm lens and a 4GB card.

Cant wait to try it out, Looks a little confusing and out of my depth tough I'll google some guides methinks
