Hello,
I've just picked up a Canon 20d secondhand, plus an EF-S 17-85mm F4 - 5.6 AF IS lense for 200 quid all in. I'm hoping that's a decent investment! Seems like a camera that's still well-spec'd enough to have more life in it, and to get something equivalent new i'd have to shell out 3-400quid plus (although obviously there'd be some advantages to going new).
I'm really wondering what I should watch out for with this camera, and Canon. Are the cheaper lenses worth looking at? What is Canon quality like generally? I'm assuming a big brand like this can't be bad.
The camera comes with a charger and battery. What other components would people advise? (I have an old camera bag already).
It also has a 1gb CF mem card. I'd like to make sure I have a bigger card, and a fast one too, any advice?
Thanks, sorry for all the questions!
