Any advise and tips for getting 2nd hand DSLR? What to look out for? I'm a newbie, not sure how to check.
1) Shutter Count>
2) Kit Lens condition>
3) sensor condition>
4) if the camera has been drop before
Fungus in the Kit lens and the dirty sensor if i'm most afraid of. If the camera has very high shutter count, what does it means? Other than sending it back to the company to check the shutter count, or to do sensor cleaning or maintaince what else i need to check? As most 2nd hand DSLR are all out of warrantly alreadly.
Don't want to take the risk to spend so much to get a camera and get something which is not in good condition.
