I am selling up my camera kit to raise some much needed funds, I have included everything in a list below which is included in the final price.
This kit would be ideal for someone looking for a quick start in photography at a reasonable cost with great quality items.
Almost everything is 'as new' since I treat my equipment with great respect, most things have boxes, only the Tamron 70-300mm lens is missing a box, and a couple of pieces of internal packaging from one lens. The lenses have had filters on them 99% of the time, and the LCD screen has had a protector on it since day one. The camera itself has done probably between 2-3k clicks and has never missed a beat, and the three batteries all last an excellent amount of time, especially when you are using two of them in the grip. The flash takes two AA's (none supplied) and the cycle time is very fast on decent brands like Duracell etc.
The camera bag is not pictured, but has never been used and is still in its packaging with the tags attatched. The DVD seminars are excellent way to learn your way around the camera, as is the book, I'd go so far as to say it's a must read much better than the included manual!
There is a great range of lenses with this kit, the 18-55mm is good for a bit of semi-wide angle shots, the 50mm is an amazing value portraiture lens, the 55-250mm has good coverage for when you can't get close to what you are shooting, and the 70-300mm Tamron doubles up a long range zoom and a macro lens.
The total cost to buy this equipment online from Amazon is £1304.75 and if you were to buy it from Jessops Online it would set you back over £1570!!!
I am offering all of this delivered to your door via next day Royal Mail Special Delivery for only £865

| MG Photographer Location United Kingdom Warwickshire | A great kit for a starter but I think you'll have to end up splitting it.... Probably too many lenses with the same focal length for starters. Why would you want an 18 to 55 and a 50 and why would you want a 70 - 300 as well as a 55 -250mm...... I know the answers but the guys just starting out this will probably confuse them a little. I honestly think you'll get more if you split it all up too... The 550 D is a fantastic body to have and to many its better than the 600D... Good luck with it. |

| Violet_Ecstasy Model Location United Kingdom West Midlands West Midlands | Thanks, I have already been asked to split 2 of the lenses but I worry that it might reduce the value of the rest of the kit and I might let go of the wrong lenses for the rest of it to go all at once. I don't want to sell it all individually. It's a great price, there's nothing to stop a buyer then selling any lenses they don't want. |

| Badger Photographer Location United Kingdom Somerset Weston super Mare | If you do decide to split, let me know, I may well be interested in the 550D body and grip. Trev |

| MG Photographer Location United Kingdom Warwickshire | Sold pending payment Very pleased to hear that im wrong. Whoever buys it will be very disapointed when it comes to Christmas as once youve opened that many boxes then opening presents on Christmas day will never be the same. Just a shame for you that you're selling it :-( |

| Violet_Ecstasy Model Location United Kingdom West Midlands West Midlands | Thanks, when our situation improves (ie when I'm in permanent employment again) I will be looking to replace it, but I do think that we had more than we needed. |
