Found one for £280, with 3000ish clicks on it, about £100 off new price.

Just been serviced by Canon as well apparently, very tempted

Payday tomorrow

Pretty good price. I have one and cant fault it at all. The lense that comes on it is ok for starting but ive recently bought a better lense and wow its made a difference

As said, kit lens is touch soft when you really look close at shots and lightweight build, but I don't think for the money you can go wrong.

Certainly not at £100 of new price and just serviced

Just seen a TV for more that i'd prefer, so might have to put this on the back burner for now.

But cheers for the reply guys, found a few websites selling second hand stuff which will save me cash, so i'll look back in a month or so

Id do it if I were you. If only I'd of waited a few months I'd have a 400D instead of a 350D oh well, its about the photo not the camera it was taken with.

The 400D is a great camera let down by the kit lens. Save for a 24-105L and see the difference.

I rarely use full manual, on most occasions i'd be wasting my time, doesn't mean its the same as using a digi cam, even on full auto the slr will be better.

Great camera, I had one sold to Graham88 on here, as wasn't getting the use out of it to justify the cost!

But it is an amazing peice of kit and not bad money now
