Recommendations for a budget DSLR under £100 ( $168.25 USD )

[Sei]

So recently i got really into taking pictures with my nexus 5 ( not the best thing to take pictures with) and i was starting to get frustrated with the lack of control i had with it mainly not having optical zoom. so i ask for suggestions for a decent DSLR body for around  £100 ( $168.25 USD ) preferably canon since my dad has quite a few lenses that i can "borrow". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Theres a few 450Ds on ebay right now going for around the price you want to spend.

a grip is something you'll want if your doing insane video shoots/weddings that bang on about commitment for as long as the average marriage lasts...

No. No need for battery grip.

 

Try finding cheap and second-hand DSLRs from sites like ebay or something similar. Don't know about ebay, but I got lucky at finding a second-hand 1000D (Rebel XS) for around 112€, even though here those are commonly found for around 140€ - 180€ with or without kit lens.

 

For under 100£, as far as your wish for Canon DSLRs go, you could get maybe a 20D/30D/400D and bellow, or if lucky, a 450D. Some might include a lens (kit lens if any) or no lens at all.

 

 

One past experience on shopping for second-hand DSLRs: I missed a damn good deal on a Nikon D3100 for 140€ with a kit lens with shutter count less than 400. Needless to say I was a bit pissed off for not having enough money back then. This is to prove that there CAN be good deals like these, but they're rare to find.

Newer models are usually better in terms of image quality, but two-digit models (20D, 30D etc.) are usually more rugged and have faster burst rate. My advice: go for newer.

i get what your trying to say id rather go for newer since it would mean decreased chance of failure but i quite like the 5 Fps burst rate
