    Time to replace 300d...

    Right, my 300d is getting a little long in the tooth and would like to replace it. I have a couple of extra lenses and batteries etc but what to replace it with? Not looking to spend a huge amount (£500 would be a max) and don't mind going second hand...

    Was thinking of a 40D. Looks like you can grab one on ebay for about £460. Any other good places to get one?

    From past experience, you always get about 3-5 people bidding literally in the last minute.

    Re: Time to replace 300d...

    Decided a 30D would be more sensible but prices seem to have gone a little crazy- they are closer to £300 over the past couple of weeks. There are cheaper buy it nows than some of the auction prices! I will wait until after xmas i think.
