I just bought a canon eos 400d for €36,50 the flash is broken but the rest still works perfectly fine. Included are a charger, the manual and three battery's. Was this a good deal or could I have gotten a better dslr for the same price?

Is this some kind of joke? That is couple of beers, and i bet you would still be sober after that. Btw, in my country, only one for sale is 220 EUR (but it does include kit lens).

Btw, give it a good clean. I had all sort of problems with my 100D, until i finally cleaned "vents" where AF sensor is. Ok, AF still sucks on any point except center point, but i do get now 3/10 good focus, versus 9/10 failed focus on outer AF points, but i am addicted to opening lens wide, i shoot poor 50mm 1.8 wide open just to get FF look (and i get only soft photos ).
