Can anyone recommend a DSLR which can be used in Stopmotion pro Action Plus that is under £300?

It would be a nice extra if it has live feed to the PC aswell but doesn't have to,

Thanks,

P&B

Under £300. Corrr! I don't think you'll find anything any good for that kind of money! I'll ask my Dad...

He said that he would go with the Canon EOS 1000d. On Amazon.co.uk it is £392 (With lens kit) but if you look around, you can probably get it cheaper. My dad bought a Canon EOS 450d with 2 lenses, extra battery and a bag for under £500 but that was quite a while ago so it doesn't have live view.

I can certainly endorse Canon EOS cameras - I've had my trusty one for two years now, it was my Grandad's but he upgraded and gave it to me for my Birthday, and - even though it's old - it does everything I need it to.

I don't have Live View on it, but that's not the end of the world. So look around and find an older model somewhere online. Don't go for websites you can't trust though as you could be caught in a scam.

Maybe even eBay? I recently bought a Mac Mini from eBay and got it £350 cheaper than the Apple asking price.

Thanks for the replies!


666joshy666 Posted: Feb 6th 2010

No prob! I definitely agree with you on the Canon EOS bit, Seb!


Purple&Brown Posted: Feb 6th 2010

I found a Canon EOS 450d with live view, usb and vide output on ebay for £100! Also come with 3 different lenses.


Purple&Brown Posted: Feb 6th 2010

Any other suggestions?



666joshy666 Posted: Feb 6th 2010

Why did you buy another one, Jordan? What is you big animation project about? Sorry about what I said on the Behind the scenes forum!

Just thought I would give you a great price I just found on the 1000d: http://www.crazycameras.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=26461&gclid=CJfl1uyiiaACFdoB4wod7Ez6iw
