Recommendations for second-hand Canon SLRs

Why do you have to buy a second-hand Canon SLR?

Warning: Canon's entry-level SLRs are known to be prone to failure after the warranty period. The initial 300 and 350d lens failures are extremely common, and the 500d, 550d and 600d are all prone to moisture.

If you want to buy a cheaper Canon SLR, it is recommended to buy the 40d. It is very sturdy and many friends still use it.

Nikon's entry-level model is relatively sturdy. The D40 has a long lifespan. There are small parts that may be damaged, but they are easy to replace and the cost is low.

A common problem with second-hand Pentax entry-level cards is that they do not read the card. It is recommended to use a connecting cable and try not to insert the card repeatedly.

Among the Sony SLRs that have been discontinued, the A100, which is the lowest, is the strongest. It can be bought now for about 1,000. Its sensor and shooting quality are basically the same as the Nikon D80, but the high sensitivity is different. It can also be used. Come practice.

There are many traps when buying second-hand, but the most fundamental principle is to avoid Canon entry-level SLRs.
