Buying Canon 7D & Canon 100-400mm- Help

Hi Friends,

Being no much exposure to SLRs (Played a lot on PnS :thumbup:)

Now I have decided to purchase Canon 7D and 100-400mm L-lens.


Can you please individually contribute your views / buying suggestions etc.

Also if anybody knows current costing, would be great.

Also which precautions to be taken while buying, any hands-on checks ?

Help me please :confused1:

A great combination! Good for mammals and large birds.

Are you buying new or second hand?

100-400 costs about 81K + rupees with bill.

If you buy from a reputed place, the camera and lens should be in packed condition. It should not have fungus. Anyway, the camera and lens when bought with bill will have warranty.

Thanks for reply, Sabyasachi.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
