Is it just me that enjoys carrying around a bang up camera? Like a cheap lens and camera setup you bought off of eBay or second hand places possibly?

I usually use a 5d mk3 with a sigma 24-105 DG OS for everyday shooting when I'm going somewhere serious.

But my beatup setup cost be around £230 tops. Use an old 550d I got on eBay for £130 (great condition, 6000 shutter count when bought), got myself a tamron 18-200 for £30 and a yongnuo (thought fuck it, I've spent more for a filter) 50mm f1.8 for £40, adding the cost of a couple batteries and a portrait grip and you have my shitty little beatup camera that I take almost everywhere. Even to my more professional shoots. When I'm shooting with families or kids it helps to give the little ones the 550d so they feel less nervous when getting their photo taken. Sometimes I even print out the photos for the parents just for keeps sake.

Post your own beatups :)
