I'd love to get one but unfortunately that goes way out off my budget of 400-450 euro lol
Only reason I was considering those cameras above because they're going quite cheap used.

Thanks for the link! :)
I guess I'm going to have to get the Nikon seeing that Amazon.com won't ship any canon products to me in here Ireland. :(
I have 2 questions tho,
If I buy this Nikon D7000 (body only) (used at $420) http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D7000-DSLR-Body-Only/dp/B0042X9LC4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417555028&sr=8-1&keywords=nikon+d7000 could you guys link me a good lens for it at around 124 dollars (100 euros) or less maybe. I'm going to be using the camera for high quality short film,youtube,etc...

2nd question: Is there an American web store that sells cameras used (Canon EOS 70D specifically) and ships them to Ireland?

Thanks for everyone's help :)

Thnx for the links :)

Damn,those EOS 70Ds are still pretty damn expensive,would love to find one at around $550-600 used.
Regarding the lens,in your opinion what lens should I get? :eek:
 
What are you going to primarily shoot? Though you could use a zoom lens a good prime lens is most often used for movies. Examples of prime lenses include the 24mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, and 85mm. It all depends on how wide of a shot you need.


Lens Focal Length*

Terminology

Typical Photography

Less than 21 mm Extreme Wide Angle Architecture
21-35 mm Wide Angle Landscape
35-70 mm Normal Street & Documentary
70-135 mm Medium Telephoto Portraiture
135-300+ mm Telephoto Sports, Bird & Wildlife

The best used price I could find for one (Canon EOS 70D) is just under $900 but that was a brief search.

I'm going to be shooting close ups of face and short films. (I'd like a decent zoom but I'm not talking documentary-grade microscope ant-hair lenses.
could you link your recommended lens through amazon if you can,it'll be easier to buy and ship.

Out of the lenses you linked,what one would you recommend? :)
 


The first two would be considered prime lenses (no zoom) and between those two I would go with the 28mm for a wider viewing angle. I have a 50mm lens and you have to stand a fair distance back for a full body shot.
If a zoom lens is important and field of view was less critical I would go with the zoom lens. If I were buying a lens today I would go with the 28mm.

Cool,thnx :) Btw what lens does this have?


Side question: Do you think I'll be able to find the Canon EOS 70d used on another website that ships to Ireland for $600 with the lens?
 
Not sure which camera you are asking about now. The Nikon you referenced on Amazon is the body only. I think it will be a real challenge to find the EOS 70D for $600 with a lens.

Update: After doing a Google search and even browsing eBay I could not find a Canon EOS 70D with a lens for anywhere near $600. I'm not saying one is not out there somewhere but I couldn't find one for that price.

Oh sry! lol I thought I had linked it:
http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Megapixel-Digital-Camera-18-105mm/dp/B0042X9LCO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417911657&sr=8-2&keywords=nikon+d7000.

Shame :( If only Amazon would ship to Ireland! Would it be a good idea to ring them to see if they'd do it considering I'm getting it used from someone? or is it completely out of the question? :|

I'm getting a camera for christmas so out of all the good cameras in around the canon eos 70d/nikon d7000 used price range ($600 used) what camera do you think I should get?
I'm pulling my hair out,who knew buying a camera would be so stressful! lol
or even a Nikon camera that matches the quality of the video image canon eos 70d.
