Just picked up a 50D, is this a good deal?

I got it for 600.

its in mint condition and had exactly 3k shutter count.

Yes. But do you usually buy something and then ask if it's a good deal?

i forgot to add /sarcasm at the end of my post, lol

I think so, as most go for $700-850

Great price, got mine with 9k shutter count for $750... Mint also...

sounds like bragging instead of seeking opinions LOL

Strange as I just got a new one for $799 at a local camera store but if you look on Ebay a lot are $900+ from various sellers .

I would say you got a really good deal if it remains problem free

of and it was CAD too, and yes it was a little bragging, lol
