I bought a canon 350d off ebay spares and repairs - good condition just needs a new CF card slot due to a couple of missing pins. Does anyone know where I can get a new CF card slot? Is it the same part for all cameras or will I need a specific 350D part? Tristan

So the 350d arrived and so has the 18-55mm lens (I got the non IS one in the end). However it looks like the scroll wheel isn't working properly - I made a new thread here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3563603/eos-350d-scroll-wheel-working.html

I bought an EOS 350D used off ebay, supposedly in working condition, however now it's arrived the scroll wheel used to change settings doesn't work properly. It sort of responds to scrolling to the right but sometimes jumps left and doesn't respond at all to left scrolling. So I can crudely...

I'd probably be shooting landscapes most of the time but I also like shooting inside abandoned buildings where low light performance would be very useful. So that 50mm lens sounds pretty good - not having zoom wouldn't be much of an issue as taking photos inside I wouldn't be zooming anyway. I'm...

Ok I'll pass on that lens then. I wasn't aware that the damage to the filter ring would actually stop a filter being used and yes it must have been dropped or badly looked after for that to happen. Of the used lenses b&h have, this one seems to best fit what I...

Thanks for the link. I updated my last post with a lens a found on ebay - seems like a popular option as there are a lot of them for sale. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302500099186 That particular one has slight damage to the filter ring but...

I got a canon EOS 350D - bidding only went up to £35 so quite pleased. Now I have to find a lens though. Would £40-£50 be an acceptable budget for a decent lense or should I spend more? I'll probably go with an 18-55mm for versatility. This is what I'm looking at at the moment...

Thanks for the help with this. If I get a mirrorless camera, will I have to buy different lenses for it or is it just the same as a dslr?

How much should I be looking at for a lens? And is an 18-55mm a good bet for starting with or would it be better to consider something more use specific? Also, do you know any cameras similar to the d70 that would also be good options? Just so I have some to look at and choose from.

I'd rather pay less than £100 for the body alone, more like around £50 to £60. Unless you can convince me that its worth paying more. I had a look at the two cameras you mentioned ^, they do look pretty good but more the kind of price I'd go for after I've got some experience with a DSLR and...

I know there are probably loads of threads like this already, but I couldn't find one that quite matched what I'm asking. I'm looking for recomendations for a cheap second hand DLSR (ideally around £50-60 but I can go higher if its really worth it) to replace my bridge camera which has...
