Is there any point in buying used cameras anymore? New ones are few hundred more, and you don't need to worry about spots on sensors, shutter dying and no warranty.

Neither the a7 or a7II are good cameras, which is why their prices are tanking.

You do need to worry about that with new Snoy cameras. Their customer support motto is "fuck off and buy another one"

ebay is dead. Hardly even useful for 150$ range since you don't know what you'll get. Everything higher up is useless, too many hasslers and crooks that offload scratched sensors.

It's still ok for manual lenses, but they're already at a range where you get better quality out of chinese lenses for the same price.

Shutter dying is almost never an issue. Modern shutters are rated for 200,000+ exposures. You should never buy a body if you don't know the shutter count.

"A few bucks" is a full lens. Lenses matter a lot more than your body.

eBay is fantastic for buying. It’s selling that sucks as eBay pretty much always favours the buyer.
I buy all my gear on eBay and never had a problem. I’ve returned a few “as new condition” cameras for having scratches and dents and always had a refund including return postage costs.

Can you guys recommend a solid entry-level camera? I mostly like taking pictures of nature and I'm sick of using my camera phone. Don't really know where to start looking. I haven't owned a camera in probably thirty years. Maybe something in the ~$500 range.

Hmm, I guess the wuflu fucked up prices. It used to be much cheaper. Maybe kick your price up a hundred bucks and hunt around for a D600 and 50mm af-d. It'll be a better camera anyway.

“Americans are one illness away from bankruptcy” is a europoor cope meme. Not based in reality. Americans are either covered by private insurance or by the government (medicare/medicaid). We have “universal” healthcare but europeans keep lying to themselves to cope with their double tax rates.

Is it so much better than the d3500? The comparisons I've looked at kinda favor the d3500. And how big of a deal is that the d3500 has a lot higher max ISO? Is it so noisy it's barely even usable?

The D7100 has better controls and features, can power lenses without autofocus motors, and is extremely sharp. It's the serious hobbyist line.

The D3x00 line is intended for students taking photography electives. The D7x00 are for people that are more serious and it shows in the features, controls, and build quality. The D3x00 is gimped in comparison. The D7100 in particular is a bargain and can take extremely sharp photos and is built to last.

I guess the camera looks in good condition but I have zero idea what to look for, both in the body and in the lense.

My first DSLR was canon 500d, used. Bought it with kit lens back in 2015 for 250 usd. Second is canon 6d just because of fool frame. Bought it in november last year for 650 usd just the body since I have plenty of M42 memeglass. Both cameras are rugged and if any of them gives up I guess I will have to order spare parts from china and break out my toolbox. Simply because it is not a choice. You have stuff, when it breaks down you fix it.
