I know someone who offered to sell me her Canon 50D. She has another camera. She is an amateur photographer and takes pretty decent wedding pics etc, so I suspect she takes good care of it. I know her well enough to know that she would dump it off due to defect or anything.
Anyone have enough photography experience to offer advice? I used to own an older SLR film camera, and I use a consumer grade Olympus digital, but I find it hard to set up anything in low-ish light and have it come out right. My experience with manual modes on it have been less than underwhelming, even compared to a much older Sony Mavica.
At any rate, I've been wanting a digital SLR for a while, but not wanting to spend the $$ to get a newer model, and not really wanting an old model.
How much would a Canon 50D run, used, with a basic lens and an average memory card? Do you think they are still worth having (I don't think they are all that old...)
