Good buy?

A mate is selling his Canon EOS 350D to make some money towards a 450D

He's had it about two and a bit years and is selling it with a lens and fancy flash on eBay. I've expressed an interest and he's offered it to me for £175

It's well looked after, so..... Is this a good price?!

if in good condition sounds a good price to me considering the cost of the 400d and 450d

I paid £600 for my 350D (while back), and I haven't been dissapointed. Even though I had to buy a memery card separately.

Google it, from what I can see they retail in excess of £300

I your getting it with the lens and flash its a good price. I have a 400D which is pretty similar and its a great camera for the money. 350D produces some really nice smooth images and thats the most important thing.

Yup. It has a 18-55mm lens and a "Speedlite" flash

He bought it for around £600 and is now looking to move to a Nikon. He's actually very happy with the Canon but "fancies a change" and likes the Nikon's we use at work.

His wife is not too happy at what it's going to cost him to change but his loss could well be my gain!
