Jessca Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 hi dolers, im looking into getting a second hand DSLR, (at a reasonable price), i have been wanting to move up for ages, but i am still a novice at this. i am looking for either a canon 350D or 400D preferably with two lenses (org lense kit) or a Nikon of some sort, around the same sort as the Canon(im not to good with Nikon's models) i think i want a D40/D40x i would prefer an older model, as money atm is quite tight(stupid considering im buying a camera ) any help would be greatly appreciated, i am currently living on ebay looking at cameras. im not going to bother getting a new camera for a while, i thought id learn how to use an older one before i step up to a good new one. thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 how much did you want to spend cause I've mentioned several times about the brand new 400D at jb hifi in Ringwood. It might still be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) I checked jb in Eastland again yesterday, that 400d is still there and so is another with just a single lens for about $740ish from memory, I didn't write it down but it was cheaper than the 1000d which I think is a lesser model. someone will correct me if I am wrong.

chezzyr Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The 400d was not in JB - empty space on shelf. Had to go there anyway. Couldn't get out of Eastland quick enough. Watching kids crying on Santa's knee and all sorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching kids crying on Santa's knee and all sorts It was still there yesterday afternoon, on the bottom shelf in the cabinet, still in its torn box. I can imagine it would've been horrendous there today, the crowds ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyr Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yes it was horrendous and not only that, nobody seemed happy. All glum faces, people looking serious/tired or in a hurry. Was a mad house in JB and with constant doof doof - I just made a bee line for the SLR cabinet and then out ASAP. Didn't notice a torn box but wasn't looking for one. Probably best someone rings because I aint going again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Someone in our camera club (Knox, Eastern suberbs Melbourne) has upgraded big time and has a Nikon D40x for sale at $600 including two lenses and filters, sounds like it is in good condition, don't think it's had a lot of use. If anyone's rooly intrsted let's know and I'll pass her phone number on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
