oh geez, you mean marketplace? may as well use ebay or gumtree as a comparison

so? thats hardly the same seeing as it doesn't come with memory card and bag
9 quid extra for a branded bag and card is a good deal so.. heat added

Cheaper on Amazon.

not a bad starter camera set. you could probably get the mem card and case separate and save a few quid as above.

Eh, you can get it £60 cheaper on Amazon if you use one of the Amazon fulfilled sellers...

Deals for the Amazon one that everyone is referring to please?

Bahaha, its fulfilled by amazon so hardly!

Link for those interested

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-Digital-Camera-3-5-5-6-Sensor/dp/B00BYOY9AS/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1460913614&sr=1-3&keywords=canon+700d

Amazon usually price match marketplace sellers if you ring them up...

Bahaha? fulfilled only means they stick it in a box and post it

They also do the returns and customer service. So basically nothing like ebay and gumtree as you stated.

it is a great camera, had mine for a couple of years now and love it.

Can people tell why photographers still opt for that massive piece of mirror in the body?
This camera has the same sensor size as Sony A6300 mirrorless.
Why do people care about that mirror so much?
It's massive and reduces the amount of light that reaches the sensor.

fulfilled by amazon. - only guarantee is that you get it or you get money back.
The sensor in this 3 yr old model doesn't rate as good as the very first Sony nex - 2011 - never mind the current models.

This cameras a banana, ice cubes added :stuck_out_tongue: if it aint a Canon 5D iii or a 6D forget it.

It's an OK deal as you're paying not that much for the bag and card. Otherwise, it's pretty standard pricing. I wouldn't call it 'hot' personally. You can check out the Camerapricebuster website for best prices UK wide. You can also compare with mpb website for used examples and add in a 50mm 1.8 lens and still save. This is a competent set tho and hard to go wrong if it's what you want.

hot because currys pay their taxes in the uk

A lot of folk won't have the best part of £2k to throw at a camera, and whilst I agree with you in principle, if we deter beginners from trying out photography because of the expensive entry price, I'd say the hobby is doomed.

The 700d is a strong body with lots of features, and as we all know, it really comes down to the glass we're shooting with.

But compare the 5 or 6D with the Nikon D750 and which is the banana, compare the d750 with the 810 and .... pretty much all cameras these days are better than the thing behind it,imho

Whatever you have to tell yourself to make you feel correct I guess.
