Title: Anyone know stuff about Canon Rebel series cameras?
Post by: Ifixyawata on December 11, 2004, 03:19:56 AM
I'm thinking of getting one for Ashlie for Christmas, however I'm only gonna be able to afford a film one (not a digital), and it's gonna have to be a used/reman one.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  There are several cheap ones on eBay... as an example:

A used one with accessories... (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15235&item=3858367113&rd=1)

Here's a remanufactured one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15235&item=3858397670&rd=1)

Some of the auctions say "Canon Rebel Body" for example.  Does it mean I don't get the whole camera?  Is it just everything but the lens?  Sorry I'm a n00b when it comes to real cameras.

just gotta be careful if you buy a cannon digital camera, if you use an aftermarket lense on them, that will be stored in the camera, and the warrenty will be void, i dont think its the same with the film cameras, but im not 100% sure

I really can't afford a "real" Canon Digital like I'd like to get her.  So I'll probably end up getting one of the used 35mm deals.

And yes, "body" means just the body.

No lens, no other accessories at all (usually), like a flash, carrying case, strap, batteries, lens caps, filters, rolls of film, lens cleaner, tripod, photo albums, no-doze for looking at albums, special albums for your bare-butt baby pictures, little sticky corners to hold your bare-butt baby pictures in the albums.....  (http://www3.telus.net/neat/icons/blah.gif)
