So my 10d wasn't working proper as some may know, shutter button wasn't working proper so i decided to get rid on ebay, explaining the problem.
I've been contemplating what i want and have chamged my mind so many times, first i wanted a 30D + macro, then i was gonna stump up for the new 40D, then i fancied the 30D + 17-85 IS USM and i stuck with this till today, see i went to the blue camera shop where they had the 17-85 package offer for £769, but went today to see it had gone up to £859 (which is still alright) but i wasn't prepared to pay £100 more for it, tried blagging it at last weeks price but they wouldn't budge, so i asked how much the 30D body only was, that was £585, anyway i left it and walked out, there's another camera shop 2 doors down from this shop who happened to have a used, MINT canon 70-200 F4 L in, so i snapped it up for £300 cash. I never ever thought i'd own a piece of L glass (missus would hit the roof if she finds out how much it costs, even if it is a bargain and an investment).
Anyway, back to topic, i walked back past blue camera shop and noticed something in the windos that i failed to see before, offer for 30D + 18-55 kit lens for £609, so i went in and bought it, i know the 18-55 aint that good but for the sake of £29 extra i thought i may as well have it. So, for a total of £909, i have this.....
