nigewoodcock Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Look for a second hand canon 70d crusian 1 Quote
Carpbell_ll Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Was going to suggest a second hand buy too, CEX have some real good quality cameras in most of their shops, plus they check them out well and you get a six month guarantee, or there is the cash converter type shops, but you have to be careful when buying from them, some of the electrical stuff can be a bit shoddy and you only get a three month grantee.

Carpbell_ll Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 Just had a look at the CEX site they have plenty of the ones Nige suggested, they certainly hold their price. i will be sticking with my fine pix lol Quote

yonny Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 You need an intervalometer buddy. Best 12 quid you'll ever spend. Quote

Read Yonnys advice! Essential part of my kit! Tripods are 1000’s times better than a bank stick. I use up to 3 external flashes but only for really special fish. I am generally happy with one external mounted on the camera. The in built will also be ok yonny 1 Quote
