>>5474811My recommendation is to look at whatever websites that are selling cheap DSLRs. Not necessarily camera related websites but any online retailers.
What you want are retailers that have old stock. You can get a camera that was top of the line or at least, pretty dang good when it came out 2 or 3 years ago. Preferably it should be an unused piece. At worst, it was a display model. Also, make sure it includes a lense, because that's a thing with DSLRs.
Then use sites like
cameradecision.com to see what the camera scored when it came out and whether it has the features you might want.
I mean, think of it this way. You can get a crappy but new point and shoot that will last you say, 5 years before you get rid of it for whatever reason.
Or, you can get a good but old DSLR that will STILL last you 5 years because it was never used. And it's performance still exceeds any point and shoot you might get.
OR, just get a nice new phone with a camera because phones are way more practical than cameras, and you can, I dunno, play Angry Birds or Hearthstone on them.
