check the prices at the bottom of the article. Granted that is '06, but sounds like a good deal to me. I have never used a 30d. I haven't looked around for any used prices, but i wouldn't think that is far off.

I have owned and used a Canon 30D. It was a great little camera for me and is still cranking out photos for the man and woman that bought it from me when I bought my Canon 7D.

Mine went with me all the way up to Sitka, Alaska on two different Fishing trips and it took hundreds of photos for my memories.

I would not even hesitate to tell anyone with a wish to buy a 30D to do so!

I was going to get a 30D, but a good deal for a 40D popped up and I took it.  If you can get it with the lens for $350 thats a deal.  If you dont like the lens it can sell for $200, if it is the kit lens.  Most of the bodies I found for sale were $250 or more.

looked at some canon 300d also..older camera some looked to be a good deal with very little use

I've owned a couple Canon Rebel cameras (350d).  The 300 rebel came out earlier, and they were good cameras.  The 30D is way better built, with a shutter life of 100,000 actuations.  If they are the original owners, it sound like a pretty good deal to me.

well I ended up buying it.    now another hobby

Nice.  Lots of possibilities with that camera.  Looking forward to seeing some pics.

Ive had a rebel, 20D and now a 30D (had it a number of years now) and Its an awesome camera, Im working my way up to the 5DMKII.  The 20D I had had alot of issues, sent it to canon they said it was fine, never got in tune with it, but the 30D rocks.

I'm shooting with a 50d, which is in the same family of cameras.  I don't want to say what I paid for it new.  Next time I'm gonna look for a good deal on a used camera.  I'm liking the price huntnnw got, and sort of kicking myself.

I have an XTi, (yea I know, most people say it is a toy camera.. lol...) but I payed 200.00 for it and the lens, 2 batteries, all the software, cables, nice bag, etc.......  been watching ebay, you can get a 40d for about 300.00 saw one that only had 900 actuations that went for 350.00.  Deals can be had on camera bodies.

Did it come with a lens?

Yes..the kit one

 Nice camera Shane, it will work very well to get you up to speed in photography. Its well built and easy to operate, don't hesitate to ask questions on using it.
