Canon EOS 1100D DSLR Camera + 18-55mm DC Lens (Refurb) - €220 delivered

savemejebus · 21-08-2013 1:00pm

Would there be grounds for a dispute at all? I mean wasn't it a gamble as to whether the 199 camera came with two lenses at all as nowhere on the adverts did it mention a second lens. There was an indicative MFN number I know but at least on the ones i was looking at there were two different MFN number on the single listing in different areas.

I think there are grounds if you buy the £199.99 listing with the IS lens, but get the £199.99 listing with DC lens (but get 2)

Hhhmmm did blahblah06 get Dazzys order and vice versa...

Which £199 listing did you go for? The one with the IS in the title and 5161B023AAUK as the code below? Out of interest which code was in your email?

This is the item description: Canon EOS 1100D 12.0 MP Digital SLR Camera + 18-55 IS Lens (Refurbished)
MPN No is: 5161B030AA

So I bought the £199 camera last week expecting to get the second lens but it arrived last night with only one lens. The one included was the 18-55 IS Lens. I sent an email to the seller to query it.

So you got the right lens then as per the description.

Yes. However, other buyers who bought the £199 offer got a second lens included with the package and its what I was expecting to get also. If not I would have went for the £175 offer.

coldfire1x · 21-08-2013 5:20pm

.... but IS lens is probably better than the standard lens. Not sure how effective it is. How is your experience with that?

The other buyers who bought the £199 listings and got 2 Lens bought this listing and had this code a third of the way down on the page
5161B038AAUK

The buyers who got the £199 listing and got 1 IS lens bought this example of listing and has this code
5161B023AAUK

If you are not happy with it, I'm sure some of the thread followers would be interested in buying it from you. Adverts.ie is also a good place to sell. As long as it works that is

Dazzy · 21-08-2013 8:35pm

The camera is perfect and I'm very happy with it. I thought that all of cameras priced at £199 came with two lenses but it looks like that's not the case. Thanks for the replies :-).

big_show · 22-08-2013 8:13am

Just to confirm,I finally got my camera last night and it is indeed the one lens version.

I'm still delighted with the camera for the price I'm getting it for and a good entry price point for someone looking to getting into the hobby.

Now to figure out what all these buttons do!

Since I didn't get the 75-300mm lens does anyone recommend a decent zoom lens for further down the road?

Edit: a quick google brought back EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS telephoto zoom (which aren't the worst price on Ebay.)

ellie2 · 22-08-2013 7:20pm

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago. Taking it to a wedding tomorrow. Any advice on the best setting to use especially for the church

Haven't watched it myself, but give this a watch maybe:

Kenny Logins · 22-08-2013 7:48pm

Nothing wrong with it IMHO. You can see what the camera does and use that as a guide until you find your own low shutter speed, and high ISO limits.

How often before this Canon offer is likely to turnup again ?

The best similar offer I can seem to find is the following http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NIKON-DIGITAL-SLR-CAMERA-D3100-14-2MP-WITH-18-55MM-VR-LENS-FULLY-AUTOMATIC-BLACK-/400551947682?hash=item5d42c1ada2#ht_1971wt_1199

Any views ?

How long did you have it before you got that error?

coldfire1x · 27-08-2013 10:34am

I got it on 13th August so around 2 weeks. May have taken 70-80 pics max.

Haven't had it but Basq had linked to it earlier in the thread...can't see the instructions on that link for some reason but the there is instructions in the manual for cleaning the sensor manually. Page 173 and you will need a camera blower- one of those little balls with a tube on the end. I was thinking of getting this set on Amazon already so will definitely get it to be on safe side now. Hope this helps anyway and that you won't have to return the camera.

Helpful link for error messages and some possible general solutions.

Can't say for definite of course but they seem to pop up every month at some stage. Canon probably waits until enough are refurbished and then sends them onto Digital River to sell off. If cost is important then you could chance waiting or go with Nikon- haven't heard any feedback about the Tesco refurbs though. For Canons- If you had a little more to spend there are quite often higher models going like the 550D which went up today at £299 with the IS lens.

I bought the 550D from them the other day as a present for a friend. I may take a lot of pics with it before I give it to him (his bday is in a month) in case the error comes up

Macer123 · 27-08-2013 3:01pm

The cannon outlet http://stores.ebay.co.uk/canonoutlet had two of the Cannon 50mm f1.8 II Lens @ £49.95 each today but sold out in a flash.
I picked one up a few week ago at this price ~& its a great lens.
Might be worth keeping an eye on their site today to see if more become available.

Two more available - updated @ 15.03 hours

Purchased one of these before the Christmas. Received it the Friday before Christmas. Discovered it was faulty new year’s eve. Messaged the eBay seller 03-Jan-14 08:49 to inform them and request a refund or replacement. Below is their reply. Any advice on what I can do?

That just refuses the refund, did you ask for repair or replace?

outofsyncc · 16-01-2014 11:09am

Yup. I requested a repair or refund.

Kenny Logins · 16-01-2014 12:06pm

Push harder. Let them know you'll initiate a Paypal dispute.

paddym1 · 16-01-2014 12:10pm

Their E-bay ads all state "All of our products come with a 1 Year Warranty!". For example, see http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EOS-600D-DSLR-Camera-18-55mm-DC-Lens-Refurbished-1-Yr-Warranty-/390747657758?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item5afa60161e
Scroll toward the end of the page (under the detailed item description) and you will see it stated. You need to quote this, and insist that they repair or replace.

I suspect the reference to seven days is related to the EU Distance selling regulations. These give you as a consumer the right to cancel contracts for goods bought online or by mail order within seven days of receiving the goods. The goods don't have to be faulty and you don't have to give a reason.

This is completely separate from your rights as a consumer in respect of faulty goods. They are taking the mick if they try to claim otherwise.

coldfire1x · 16-01-2014 12:48pm

Guys I am in the same boat. Last couple of months I am trying to send it back or get it repaired but nothing yet.

This is their latest response after sending out whole loads of emails:

Thank you for contacting the Canon UK Outlet on eBay.

We apologise for the delay and the inconvenience caused. We have
contacted our escalations team once more for an update. We will contact
you back as soon as we receive any news.

coldfire1x · 16-01-2014 12:49pm

Is there a repair centre in Ireland? They have an office in Citywest. I wonder if I go there personally will they take any action considering it's still under warranty.

savemejebus · 16-01-2014 1:42pm

Any point in just logging the fault with Canon at http://www.canon.ie/Support/Consumer_Products/contact_support/Index.aspx

outofsyncc · 17-01-2014 9:33am

Thanks for all the replys. Im going to initiate a paypal dispute monday if I dont get a resolution by then.

SQ2 · 17-01-2014 1:15pm

Err 50!! Noooooo!!

coldfire1x · 27-02-2014 4:32pm

This is just an FYI guys.....

Note that there's an authorized service centre in Dublin to get your Canon DSLR's camera repaired.

Most of you guys who got this deal are probably still under 1 year warranty.

If you are having any issue get it repaired before the warranty runs out.

Image Supply Systems - Dublin 8.

You can drop in the camera personally.

Has anyone been in contact with ISS re the warranty on these?

missed out on this the last time, so just nabbed one there. Any feedback of the camera from people who bought these 1 year ago? Also, any chance these still come with the extra lens?

Mine still working away perfectly. Hasn't got any major use but always good to have there. Battery life seems really excellent too. Think I've charged mine 3 times since I've gotten it and used it 10+ times as well as a lot of use when I initially got it.

Quoted post seems to explain how to tell the models apart. The £175 one is 5161B030AAUK so seems to be just one lens.
