If you have any gear that you want to sell or swap, post in here.

To get things off and going.


Canon 30D $700 I bought it off OCAU about 2 months ago. Works fine. It has a few marks on it, especially the hotshoe, but is in perfect working order.
28-135mm IS USM $350 This lens is about 2 years old. It has had a few bumps which makes it vignette on a full frame camera at times. Would be fine on the 30D with its cropped sensor.
17-40f/4L $700 This lens in about 12 months old. Comes with hood. I have hardly used it. SOLD


All gone to eBay.

would love the 17-40 L if i had the cash right now

Ditto the 30D

Ditto the whole lot

Payment options can be arranged.

will i need knee pads?

Interest free? How many months norbs

How many actuations has the 30D done Norbs?

And is the 30D a side step from the 400D, or an upgrade, I like what the 400D does for me, but would prefer a larger body, the 400D is just bit hard to hold at times.

I got it 2nd hand myself, so I couldnt tell you. I reckon the 30D is a big step up from any of the 3/4xx series. Bigger, metal body and better build all round. The 3/4xx series feel cheap and nasty to me.

The 400D has 10MP as opposed to 8MP of the 30D.

Full comparo here.

What norbs said. I would grab it myself, but I don't have enough cash to pay bills at the moment. So no luxury for me. The 10mp vs 8mp isn't really a big deal image quality is a little better out of the 30D in fact due to it not having that anti-dust bizzo on the sensor.

??

That's the first time I hear someone making such claims. Would you say that the iq in 1dsMKII is better than in 1dsMKIII due to the older one not having anti-dust thingy ?? Sorry, I just don't believe it.

I just Googled and found no such claims Nige. Where did you get that from?


Oooo, thats a nice feature of phpBB3. When I hit submit, Markus' new post came up.

Yeah, what Markus said also.

I remember when the brought out the 400D. The image quality was slightly down on the 350D due to the way in which the anti-dust thingy works. It might be better by now. And anyway, the sensor on the flagship DSLR isn't even remotely the same as on the 400D.

I think you are the 1st person I have heard claim that Nige. You still got the 350D? Be good to see a comparo. It could have been because of the size of the pixels on the sensor?

I dunno. I could be mistaken, I seem to remember hearing it when the 400D came out. It might have been the megapixles

I always heard it was more noise due to the smaller pixel size.

300D had better image quality than the 350D in my opinion and that was probably due to pixel size/density. Wouldn't surprise me if it was the same situation for the 400D.

I've thought about the camera Norbs, I'll have to give it a miss mate, can buy em new from B&H for US$799 atm.

Fair enough mate. Just make sure you factor in shipping and the warranty issue.

Does yours come with a warranty norbs?

I didnt think so

Nope. But if I was spending that coin, I would want a warranty. Mine is $700 AU, $799US + postage is a fair whack more. But hey, its up to Shonky. I dont need to sell it. Be good if I could, but it aint critical.

$799+postage+vat+taxes I'd think.

So he's paying 799US+ whatever for the same camera as Norbs is offering for 700AUD?

But from B&H it is new. And I think Shonky will have to buy a Mack warranty as well. I dont think OS bodies have an Aussie warranty. Not 100% on that.

Just to be clear, I have no grudge with Shonky. Just wanted to point out to Pix that there is quite a price difference. Go for it shonkmeister, its a ripper camera.

Oh, and just so as you know Shonk, the 40D is under $1300 locally now. Thats a bloody good deal too.

Don't know about the used cam market in Australia, but over here you can get a used 1dmkII with ~50000 shots (and with an in-store warranty) for about the same price as a 40d or a used 1dmkIIn for the price of a 40d+kit lens.
