Looking to purchase a Canon 20D w/70-300 Lense. Good deal??

Question

Ive recently become interested in photography and am looking to purchase a camera. I dont know much about cameras but am looking to do fashion photography. I found what seems to be a great deal: Canon 20D w / 70-300 lens, 8 megapixels, with all of its components for $400. Is this a qulity camera for a quality price?

Answer 1

The camera itself is rather dated, and since you're buying second-hand, you have to be really careful not to get a lemon.

The lens has good range, but you did not specify whether it is Tamron, Sigma or Canon. If it is the latter, it might be worth the price.

A brand new Tamron 70-300 is $150, and is very good value.
