For what that guy is asking, one can almost get a brand new Canon.

Canon EOS 4000D DSLR Camera and EF-S 18-55 mm f: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo

I wish that sellers would wake up to a few simple truths. An old film camera, even in mint condition, is not automatically worth big money. A P30 was a perfectly good camera when new, but it was not ever anything special. It may yet become a collector's item but right now it is just an old film camera. If it had a nice lens on the front it would be worth something but old zoom lenses are just meh.

Isn't it new? It is not clear. The pictures are stock pictures.

Let me clarify. Some guy want GBP200 for a used Pentax P30 plus zoom lenses. For less than GBP280 you can get a brand spanking new Canon EOS 4000D with kit zoom.

This is the reality that sellers are oblivious to. Here in Africa there is a K5 on sale for more than a 4000D. There is also a K5 II for double the price of a 4000D. That kinda upsets me. Yes, the 4000D is a plastic piece of junk marvel but still...

Well, Mu in Korean means "nothing" so I guess that could be accurate.

"LENSES ARE WORT THE MONEY ALONE"

Four 1980s consumer zooms...How do you end up with seven A3000 bodies anyway?
