Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get decent image quality from a DSLR under $100?
Yes, older DSLRs can still produce good images in proper lighting conditions. The larger sensor size compared to smartphone cameras can provide better depth of field control and overall image quality, though performance in challenging conditions will be limited.
What should I watch out for when buying used DSLRs?
Check for sensor dust spots, test all camera functions including autofocus and metering, verify the LCD screen works properly, and ask about shutter count if possible. Also ensure the camera comes with a working battery and charger.
Are lenses expensive for budget DSLRs?
Lens costs vary by system, but you can often find affordable used lenses from the same era as the camera. Kit lenses and older manual focus lenses can provide good value for learning photography basics.
Should I buy from individual sellers or camera stores?
Both have advantages - individual sellers may offer better prices, while camera stores might provide limited warranties or return policies. Regardless of source, thoroughly inspect the camera and ask about its history before purchasing.
