    All, I am thinking to purchase the above camera for holiday (photos & video mode), outdoor usage (taking photos of derlict or old buildings) and looking for something under the 500 euro mark. From looking on youtube this camera will allow me to get into and build up a knowledge of photography which is something I would be interested.

    However when I look at the costs by the time you build up your equipment the cost seems to double if not more. Can anyone recommend the cheapest place to both purchase this camera body along with all the accessories, Im thinking two lenses, 2-3 batteries, tripod, memory card, bag, rain proof cover.

    Ok, picked up one of these today in Currys/PC World. In case anyone does not know there is a double cash back offer on the Cannon EOS M50, for me not having a camera this seems to be good value.

    So retail price in Currys is €699
    Double cash back from Cannon is €140
    Cost to take away is €559.99

    Now I know others will say you would probably get it cheaper elsewhere or with all the little extras thrown in (Lucky Photo, seem to be based in US) and Photo Specialist (based in the Netherlands), but Cannon seemed to be more expensive & alot of the local suppliers Conn Cameras, The Camera Shop etc. Your thoughts, or did I miss a better bargin.

    Can anyone let me know where best to pick up additional accessories: lenses, adaptor, case, griprod, cleaning cloth/tools, I suppose I am really trying to limit the budget on the additional accessories, I dont need all straight away too.
