    I saw in a shop today a Canon 400D ex display model for sale at €499. The cost of a new one in the shop is €599.

    Would it be worth the risk to save the €99? Any suggestions on the type of questions one would need to ask about the ex display model? I'm looking for my first DSLR and from what I've read the 400D is a good entry level DSLR.

    Thanks.

    Mine was also ex display model, I got it in Feb 2007 for the same price as brand new in the box, but that was the last one they had and I needed it. Haven't had any issues with it.

    Josey,
    Komplett have a new one for €539 and state €60 cashback. May be worth a look.

    Id have no problem buying ex-display.You should get a full warranty and try to get a few more euro off the price.

    As long as the full warranty is there then you wont have any problems..

    most stores sell the display model at a reduced price but with a severly reduced warranty also.

    check out the 400d price on komplett. not that far off what you are being offered, and the one on komplett is a brand new camera.
