Okay, so I was in town today bored and decided to venture into my local Goodwill store. I didn't expect to find anything much. While rummaging around the electronics tables I happen upon this little gem:
A Canon EOS Rebel GII with the kit lens (Canon zoom lens EF 35-80mm 1:4-5.6)
I immediately snatched it up before any other nefarious shoppers saw it first. I gave it a once over (and a twice) and look for a price. When I saw the tag I thought I'd gone blind. It was $3.99 plus tax.
When I saw that price I just thought that maybe it was broken and someone brought it in figuring Goodwill would sell it for parts. I looked in the battery compartment and noticed that it had batteries, turned it to Av mode and tried autofocusing it. It worked.
I ended up buying it. I also went over to wal-mart to pick up the cheapest film I could find (Fujifilm 200 2pack) just to test it and some fresh batteries (cost 10 bucks, more than the camera, lol!). Loaded the film, it cycled, and I took the first shot. It advanced perfectly.
Hopefully the pictures will come out good since I don't know much about cameras and couldn't really tell the quality of the lens and such.
Anyway, here are a few crappy pictures I took of it with my phone camera:
