Is this a good price for a Canon 700d?

murt1987

I'm looking to buy one on Ebay as they look a good bit cheaper than buying them in shops here, but my question is whether this is a good kit deal or should I just try buy the bare bones of camera and whatever lens is included, and then add the bits I need at a later date?

The price is roughly 880euro including p&p and it does have a lot of useful little bits and bobs that I'll likely get in the future at some stage. It's quite a bit of money so I'm unsure if it's a good deal or not.

I can't post a link (type "Canon EOS Rebel T5I 700D Camera +18-55 IS STM +75-300 mm + 24GB & More IN UK" into Ebay, should be the only one) for some reason as I'm still a 'new user' but here is the list of items included :

-Canon EOS Rebel T5i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 3-inch Touchscreen and Full HD Movie Mode (Body Only)

-Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Camera Lens
-Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens
-58mm 2X Professional Telephoto Lens
-58mm High Definition 0.45x Wide Angle Lens

-Transcend 16GB Class 10 Memory Card
-Transcend 8GB Class 10 Memory Card

-Bower Digital Pro Sling SLR Backpack
-Short Zoom Case for DSLR Cameras

-58mm Multi-Coated 3 Piece Filter Kit
-58mm Multi-Coated UV Filter

-Digital Slave Flash with bracket

-50-Inch Photo/Video Tripod
-Flexible Tripod

-3 Piece Deluxe Cleaning kit
-Memory Card Wallet
-USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader
-Ultra Clear screen protectors

I know I don't have pics or a link which would help but there's nothing I can do.Sorry

No. looks like at least £100 more than just a body + two lens. So, £100 for all that ( mostly junk ) will most likely end up in the bin. Get a body and the two lens and then see what you require after that. If the flash wont swivel, it's no better than a pop up. I bought a similar tripod years ago. The kids play with it now. The '2 professional telephoto lens?' mmm.... professional in the description should say it all. Transcend cards ok though. And £50 postage? Feck off.
+ highly likely the camera is a grey import so warranty could be an issue. Usually ( I think, could be wrong ) if something goes wrong with the camera you'll need to post it back to the seller, who then arranges for repairs. ie you don't get canon's 12 month warranty ( or whatever it is )

You can get the Canon 700d with the 18-55 lens from the German Amazon at the moment for €556.47 delivered.
That is far cheaper than the UK Amazon, for some reason they wouldn't send it here before from Germany but I kept checking because I had bought Nikon lens from them in the past and then today it let me order!

Just wondering did you purchase this from the German amazon site? Did everything go ok? I am interested in this camera and this is the best price I have seen. Thanks.

Hi, I cancelled my order as I realised that it was actually coming from a different seller and not Amazon themselves, I don't know how I made that mistake....however the Spanish, French and Italian sites will definitely ship it here.
Cheapest at the moment is amazon.it at €545 delivered

I've only ordered mine from there this morning but I'm sure everything will go ok as I often purchase from EU Amazon sites and have never had a problem before.

It's a touch more expensive than the amazon.it link above.

Hi Tayla, does this mean you have full warranty and no issues returning it if something goes wrong? No potential risks or issues like you might have with eglobalcentral?
Thanks!
