I just impulse-bought a Canon 50D with factory battery grip for $175 on ebay. It has about 50,000 shutter actuations, but is in good condition without any issues. How did I do?
For now, I picked up a used 24mm STM pancake lens to act as a body cap, but I want to use the 50D as a telephoto body instead of shelling out $600 minimum for a telephoto lens on my Fujifilm X-T1. I'm thinking that with the 50D's 15 MP sensor, I can probably expect pretty similar image quality, at least under 1600 ISO, but the cost and utility of telephoto lenses was the biggest deciding factor. $600 will get me a gray market Tamron 100-400mm zoom for the Canon, but only a 55-200mm lens for the Fuji?
How is the "mark i" version of the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens? Should I be worried about any copy variation with these lenses? How quickly do they develop zoom creep? What should I expect to pay for a good copy?
