No these are second hand prices albeit in very good condition.I got a price of 1100 euro for a new canon40D and Canon 17-85is lens.
McSweeneys in Cork are the sellers.
The price for both is very high, the bodies seem to be shifting for about £450 second hand these days, so with the current Euro rate, this is still a pretty good buy, depending on number of accutations and condition of camera.
If you were in the market for one, I would jump at this. Its a great camera, just love mine.
€1100 on the other hand is outrageous for a 40D and 17-85 and from McSweeneys I could not expect anything else. That my op pinion as I have had dealing with them when i started off, and was ripped off
Plenty of 40D ‘s on the for sale section here the past couple of weeks and was lower than €1100, why not put a post in the wanted section and see if anyone is upgrading??
Better dealing with members of PI than any shop in my opinion
I think I will go for the body as it is as good a deal as iv seen,
What lens is best to start off with,is it the 17-85is,this seems to be an alrounder.
