That's why all the "pros" here always ask you to get second hand stuffs, this is for them to dispose their junks at higher price.
As if sell to dealers, the price are much lower.

Now only I know Nikon has come out new model on D600
You may insult me by boasting how good the second hand stuffs are, but my challenge are dirt simple, will you be responsible for any lost that a person that listened to your "advise"? I'm sure Goldfries don't dare to.

Is you that don't understand simple English, not me. Nobody will simply put a "s" behind number. What is your education level basically? Want to insult me again with your kindergarden level
The main difference between me and you guys, I won't simply give "advise" to waste money on classes, simply buy second hand stuffs without considering risk behind.
You may continue to boast around how lucky you are on getting overpriced second hand stuffs but in reality, you have problem and you never tell in forum also can happen.
Buying problematic second hand stuffs even if brought it to tribunal court also not easy.

I'm a beginner in DSLR world (started 2 months ago). I bought my DSLR used directly from the owner. I got it for 2/5 of the price when it was bought new; which saved me tons of moolah. Used it for work, but mostly for personal purpose now since company provided me a camera too.

That 'junk' when I first got it has less than 900 shutter count. That 'junk' also comes with an extra battery. Warranty? Till 2017.

So, not all 'pro' like to sell their 'junk' at high price.

Secondly, when one forumer advised another forumer to possibly go for second hand, then obviously the buyer need to understand the risks associated with second hand items and also research for ways to mitigate or lower the risks. I mean, nobody is stupid enough not to test the item properly before handing over the cash, right? Unless you used to be one and now you are 'once bitten twice shy'.

my impression is that dude has PMS.
can drift from a point to another irrelevant point.

for around RM2k+ you can get:
USED
Canon 60D
Nikon D7000

all solid performer, particularly I've handled both 60D and D7000, they perform absolutely well especially when you pair it with quality lens.

NEW
Nikon D5200

If you buy New, I guess only D5200 fits the bill. Or there's any other DSLR choices at the same price range?

Disclaimer:
Buy new, you get full warranty covered.    Bonus - you get the feel of unboxing and sniffing that out of box smell. 
Buy used, you get high performance stuff at cheaper price. Sometimes you can even get stuff that still under warranty.

New or Used, it's up to you to decide. If I were in your shoes, I'd choose used because 60D/D7000 simply outperform any new DSLR at that price.
Dude, someone must be sold you a shiat and gone missing.

I feel you bro but you can't go around accusing everyone being the same.

You've been kind trying to warn TS about the potential issue if buying used but instead of telling him EVERYONE is selling junk as 2nd hand, why don't you tell him the pros and cons of buying new and let him decide for himself. I'm pretty sure TS will spend his/her time to study more because in the end he himself will be the one paying for the product.

You keep saying people selling broken junk for other ppl, indeed there are a-holes like that around, just be careful. But in many cases, people letting go their stuff as 2nd hand just because they no longer need the stuff, or they are trying to funding for new stuff.

Painting one's mind only with pros OR cons will just blindly lead him.

Hello

I bought an used 350D from goldfries, dunno how many years already.
And there's problem with the sensor (light leak or something else)

And he received it back and refund the money fully to me without question.

Before you start labeling people here selling second hand item with ill-intent, look at yourself on the mirror first yea. 

PS:350D is the very first DSLR I got on my hand when I started photography; second hand also and bought it from Viking bro.

Mirrorless still don't have proper OVF
Buy both instead

So are you trying to praise this photo are good?
For me, it is rubbish as the person who took this photo made a serious mistake.
But again, this is a place for fanboys and po lanpa, sure it will automatically become a good photo.

Nah, kasi lu poison a bit, shot this few weeks back



and trust me, there is no such thing as useless info be it from classes, forums or fb or any open sources!

Haha coz this thread talk so much about canon/camera jargons that i myself dont understand... honestly, i am very much a noob on cameras/gadgets, i just point n shoot
