Canon 400D up for grabs

December 9th, 2012
This project has been quite an inspiration. Like many others have found its meant an upgrade to my kit... resulting in a brand new 650D ;)

That means I have my old camera, a Canon 400D, that I need to find a good home for. Rather than e-bay it I thought a fellow 365 member might have a use for it. If you are, or know, a budding young 365 photographer who could really benefit from the step up to a DSLR then drop me a line. I dont expect any cash for it but I do want it to go to a good home, preferably a 365er already posting.

Its a Canon 400D, 4Gb, with the kit lens. Its done me proud for many years, but time moves on!

Answers on a postcard...

(oh, UK only, its a bugger to post it anywhere else)

Wow, What an amazing gesture, I would love to re-home it if it still needs a new home! I'd be extremely grateful of it :-)

@twocups Wow, talk about paying it forward! What a wonderful and impressive gesture - and perfect timing with the holidays.

That's so generous! I've been looking to upgrade from my slightly out dated dslr as I'm getting into my porject but am on quite a low budget. I live near Manchester, would be willing to travel to pick it up if you live anywhere nearby! I am definitely interested but others have got here before me so they get priority first i suppose! but just incase my email is s.strachan539@gmail.com :)

You are a very nice person!
December 9th, 2012
What a lovely offer James, hopefully it will find a deserving home :)

@twocups Very nice of you, James. I hope you have found a nice home. Wish I were in the UK. Texas is a bit far away. I would love to upgrade from my bridge to a SLR...one day, I hope.

What an incredibly generous offer! I am looking to move from my bridge camera to a dslr as I am getting frustrated with the limitations of a bridge. My hubby has a Canon dslr and I would then be able to pinch some of his lenses!! (sorry, that should read "share") however, I see lots of folk have answered before me but, just in case, I live in Suffolk.
