How did you add on the extra lens in the ebay offer?

It just came with it. Two were available one for £175 and £200 both with the same description no mention of an extra lens. Then everyone who bought the 200 one just got an extra lens.

Yep for an extra £25 I got a lens worth £146. Worth the gamble.

Yep- took the plunge giving how quickly they sold before. 5 sold already so judging by the other listings only 15 left.

The only difference between the listings (besides the price) seems to be that the one with the extra lens was marked Seller Refurbished- fingers crossed that this one comes with the extra lens as well.

I just went to purchase this and it's asking me to change my address?

Thanks, just got it sorted!

It's that good of a bargain with the 300mm lens I'm half considering buying it even though I can't really afford it right now. Stupid bargain alerts lol :P

Probably the one with the extra lens..

Just got my email confirmation from canon and in the item description at the end it has +75 - Looks like it is the two lens version alright. Great result for that price.

Thanks again Basq for finding this bargain.

Just bit the bullet on the 199 one, fingers crossed its not a dud.

DubDJ · 03-07-2013 2:15pm

Just tested out the 1100D using a Sandisk Extreme SDHC 45MB/s card as opposed to a normal Sandisk Class 10 SD card and it's well worth the money to upgrade to the 45MB/s card. Using the standard card on continuous shooting mode I noticed delays and after a few shots you'd have to wait and let it catch up.

I shot a continuous amount of RAW images using the faster SDHC and there was barely any noticeable lag. Definitely a big difference between the two.

I'll definitely be picking up a second backup card in the next few days and i'll be getting another one of the faster SDHC ones.

quietsailor · 03-07-2013 2:31pm

and nowwwww there's 5 available, 15 sold

, ye're bad bad people twisting my rubber arm to buy this camera

:D

Jet Black · 03-07-2013 3:26pm

The one for £175 is back too here

Buy the one for £200 though as you are most likely getting an extra lens worth £146. Only 2 left now. Here

Finally caved and bought the £199 listing ... got the confirmation email and it lists the item as "Canon: CAMERA EOS 1100D 18-55DC+75 ** B STOCK **" ... so looks like the extra lens is included :cool:

bmm · 03-07-2013 6:14pm

It seems i will have to pay postage and insurance to return a faulty 1100D to Ebay Canon_Uk . If i was in the UK, Canon would have collected it for free. :mad:

SLR camera bodies are so light these days compared to what they used to be. There is no weight balance between the lens and the camera. It makes the camera more difficult to hold. This model, especially so. Maybe a discussion for another thread but should be noted for prospective purchasers.

Is that email from eBay? I bought one at 1pm and have only received a confirmation email from PayPal. No mention of the +75 in there.

[edit]
Oops. Found it in my junk filter. Says +75 too. *crosses fingers*

Did you try what I did?

Put it in on Fri and waiting to hear back. Will call tomorrow

FitzS · 03-07-2013 10:20pm

Gar, seems like you had more luck with ISS than I did. I phoned them about my Eos 1100D which was faulty out the box last Friday - they said they didn't service or repair cameras in Dublin, just took them in and sent off to Canon UK.....and when they found I had bought a refurb unit through UK told me I'd have to send it back myself......
Got phone number for bay seller Digital River (Limerick number!!) - put through to tech repair, and then transferred to Canon UK service centre who said camera has mechanical fault and had to be returned - cost me 35.00 to register!! Will argue toss between ebay seller and paypal to get this refunded. Looking to get replacement unit as I reckon I got camera that was a faulty return and not a demo / display model.
Emails back and forth from ebay seller at the moment, so I'll see what happens

Not so sure all these refurb units are being properly checked, and a few have been faulty, so just beware of what you are buying......

gar · 03-07-2013 10:51pm

Balls.
Hope they are not just sitting on it waiting me to call...

Jaysus! How many of these things do they have? For those interested it might be worth the gamble to wait to see if they'll be selling more of the same camera but with the addition of the 75-300 mm lens for £199.

Does the tracking number worked for anyone who ordered recently? Mine shipped yesterday morning but the tracking number throws an error.

EDIT: Never mind, arrived in Parcel Motel as I was typing this.

That was quick - what day did you buy yours ? I got my shipping notice this morning and thought I wouldn't see it until early next week.

I also got my shipping notice this morning, hoping to have it early next week

Green&Red · 04-07-2013 4:36pm

Anyone have an issue with PM not texting out the verification code? Or is there a time lag?

If your item has yet to leave the Parcel Motel depot you won't have been issued with a code for it.

Bought midday on Tuesday. When I say it arrived in PM I mean it's now in Belfast not in my PM box!
