What to look for when buying a used camera

Postby duckbuster101 » Thu Jun 07, 2012 8:35 pm

I want to get into photographing wildlife and was looking to get a used camera to start up. But i dont know what all to look at when buying a used camera. I have noticed several cameras on craigslist that are in my price range but i dont want to buy crappy camera just because i dont know what to look for in a camera. Any imput would be much appreciated.

The lower the shutter count the better. Also, try to get one from
Fredmiranda.com or naturescapes.com. Most of the guys on there take good care of their stuff and it will be in great condition. Last, be patient.
