I am planning on buying a used Canon 300d, for 300 bucks!
It includes:
its case
A Battery Grip
Two battery's
a Filter
A Remote Control
A connection to connect to your computer
And an extra lens (35mm-80mm)

So my question is; should i buy it, is that a good offer? And what details shoould i look for?

Answer
I think you are getting basically everything that comes with the camera when bought new and in fact a few extras like the 2nd battery and a filter.

For $300, it seems to be an ok deal, but for not much more you can have a newer model Canon DSLR with more megapixels. The 300D is 6MP and the first generation Canon Rebel Digital, the Canon Digital Rebel XTi listed in the link below is 10MP and the 3rd generation Canon Digital Rebel. Adorama is a reputable photo dealer

Are there any Canon 35mm film cameras that are compatible with EF-S lenses?

Joel S

I am looking to buy a Canon 35mm film camera having never bought one before.

I know for a fact that several cameras are compatible with the EF lenses - of which I own the 50mm f/1.8.

However, I also have the EF-S 18-55mm and the 50-250mm, and would like to use them on the film camera itself.

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Unfortunately, the EF-s lenses cannot be used safely on the 35mm film or full-frame digital cameras. The back of the EF-s lenses extends too far into the mirror box and will damage the mirror. Your EF 50mm f/1.8 however, is a standard EF rather than EF-s lens and will work on both a Canon EOS 35mm film camera and any digital EOS digital camera like yours.
