A good Digital SLR to start with (2 Viewers)

[Janer]

That 400D with hardly any use I could get for €350 for you and that includes a memory card and the 18-55 kit lens but with IS.

what i was really asking, is are analogue (film) slr's worth anything anymore? even in trade in?

Well, considering you can buy a decent 2nd hand film slr for about €100 i'd say you'd get less than 20 quid for it, maybe a little more if you were trading in.

Nah, what model is it though?

 

[magicbastarder]

some film SLRs are more expensive now than they were when new - or at least, i've been told that's true for the olympus OM3Ti. i'd give my left bollock for one of those.

same trade in price for much for a Canon 500n with 28-80 lens?

I think you mean OM4Ti, right? I have one of them ..... I've no use for your left bollock though ....

Just looked into it ... yeah there is a 3ti as well, which seems to go for more mostly because they are rarer it seems.

OM3Ti - OM4Ti is common enough, and much cheaper secondhand than it was new. i've one, too.

Have a voucher to use in D.I.D.
Their range is fairly limited & I haven't used an SLR before & know nothing about photography.

Should we go for the Canon 450D over the 1000D?
Would an amateur notice the difference?

 

[Umfufu]

Fuck it. Bought the 450D.
Will post lots of bad photos soon.

 

[broken arm]

you;ve probably checked this site already, but in case you haven't click on the buying guide section and you can do a side by side feature comparison of the two cameras.
