Guys, im looking to start learning photography. But i thought of getting a used camera due to budget constraints.

However I notice the price difference is not great unless its a very old camera.

Anyone know how can i get a used camera at reasonable price?

I suggest get new. Some used same price as the new bundle. I been looking in garage sale, some prices doesn't even justified cmpare to new just factor in the warranty is well worth the risk.

Things like lens u maybe be able to find some bargain

Buy from reliable sources and it should be fine. Like kldslr, altechcamera, shashinki, ylcamera, slrcentre, n4camerastore, photodepot.. These are a few that i have dealt with before. As usual, the risk of used items still apply and each store has their own warranty methods for used items and discuss with them about their return policies.

If budget is real tight, then choose a good lens you will use most often first, then get a decent body to match it. Don't blow your budget on the body and don't have enough for a good lens. A good start for me will be around 35mm or 50mm prime to start your photography journey. When you have more budget next time, then can always get better lenses.

You'll be surprised, you can get pretty decent ILC for not much to begin with!
Good luck!

Any states, use 3rd party forwarder to help a bit. Worth it still. Or just go amazon, they have refurbished item as well.
