I am planning on buying a used Canon 300d, for 300 bucks!
It includes:
its case
A Battery Grip
Two battery’s
a Filter
A Remote Control
A connection to connect to your computer
And an extra lens (35mm-80mm)

So my question is; should i buy it, is that a good offer? And what details shoould i look for?

All you can look for is that the entire setup works, the body and grip are whole, not cracked or scuffed from dropping. There will be some wear marks on a camera that old, if it was used at all, but if there are cracks in the case or large, really rough areas, I’d pass.

The lens isn’t worth more than $ 25… the only thing that makes this package worth anything at all is the grip.

I’d maybe go $ 250 for the deal, but if you want it, you aren’t going to get too many shots at a package like that for $ 300.

I think you are getting basically everything that comes with the camera when bought new and in fact a few extras like the 2nd battery and a filter.

For $ 300, it seems to be an ok deal, but for not much more you can have a newer model Canon DSLR with more megapixels. The 300D is 6MP and the first generation Canon Rebel Digital, the Canon Digital Rebel XTi listed in the link below is 10MP and the 3rd generation Canon Digital Rebel. Adorama is a reputable photo dealer

Go with what Mark says.
Nice lens & camera for similar price. That camera is old.
You can find probably a remote on ebay later, and it can be a bday present from someone…They’re like $ 20/30…
