Canon 400D Kit for £200..worth it?

[NightShadow]

Hiya guys,

I am meant to be saving money but I have been offered one of these more or less brand new for £200 inc. the kit lens. I have not tried the 400D but I recall trying a canon and a Nikon D40x i think it was a while ago when i almost bought a DSLR and i preferred the Nikon in terms of comfort. Is this a bargain worth ripping his arm off for or should I just wait and get a Nikon later on? I currently don't own a DSLR so this would be my 1st.

My god £200! Bargain of the century especially if including the kit lense

They're still £300-£400 new.

Although saying that, you'd probably regret it if you preferred the D40x Get the one that suits you best, I bought a d40X after trying both because I got on with the menu system a lot better on the nikon. Although I'm cursing the absence of an auto focus motor in the body but it's not too big a deal.

Bargain. I'd have bitten his hand off if I was in the same position.

Good rpcie but if you don't like the feel then you might still be wasting money buying it and then buying a Nikon body.

Although, perhaps at that price it would be possible to resell it at a profit if you didn't like it.

The battery grip vastly improves the feel of the 400D btw

Yep. You can get them pretty cheap off the bay and they make so much difference that again, you're daft not to.
