What is a used Canon 30D with a sigma 370-300 zoom, and a 28-70mm zoom, and a standard 18-55mm lens worth? With a hard case.


Answer
Depends on how much the 30D has been used. Brand new, no shutter actuations (0 pictures taken), it's worth maybe $1,000 with the kit lens. If you're looking to sell it online, you need have an estimate of how many pictures have been taken with it, because people won't buy a camera sight unseen if they don't know how far along it is in terms of shutter life.

The two Sigma lenses aren't worth much, $130 for the 28-70 and maybe $140 for the 70-300 if they're brand new and in pristine condition. Hard case, I don't know what kind/brand it is, but you probably won't get much unless it's a higher end case like a Pelican. You might have to just throw it in as a part of the deal.

Overall, brand spanking new, maybe $1,300, but I would expect less. The 40D was just released, so the market is being flooded with 30D bodies people are trying to offload, so I would say maybe expect in the neighborhood of $900-$1000, maybe $1100 tops.

What lens should I get with a Canon EOS 30D?

I want to buy the Canon EOS 30D but I have noo idea what lens to get with it.

I've read some things about the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens, but does anyone know if this lens is good or not?

Or should I just get a lens kit that comes with the Canon EOS 30D camera?



Answer
Depends on your budget- I have both lenses and the kit lens is ok and certainly handy for wide angle shoots. The second lens is quite a bit more expensive but would be useful from wide to a nice portrait focal length. Its major advantage is that it has image stabilization and is good for lower light situations without flash. I was able to hand hold it maybe 3 stops slower without obvious signs of camera shake induced blur. It retails for about $500 or less. There is a new, faster lens in the same or approximately same zoom range that has a 2.8 constant aperture, but here we are talking approx. $1000.
