So my boss is selling is old DSLR camera as he upgraded to one that could do video. I have the camera now, he let me try it to see if I liked it before I buy.
It's this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Digital-...anon+rebel+xsi
It comes with the 18-55mm lens, carrying case, two batteries, charger and a book that explains how to use the camera by a pro photographer.
So, the issue...I have no f'ing clue how to tell a good camera from a bad one or if this is a good one to get.
My gut tells me yes after talking to my boss as I trust him and we chatted at length about it.
He said he'd give it to me for 225 I think, which seems like a great deal as most online from refurbished places are 350-375 I think and ebay most are 250-275. Also, the reviews on this one seem pretty good from what I can tell and I have always trusted cannon.
My boss is a nerdy/engineer type similar to me and takes good care of his electronics so it's not a lemon or anything.
So anyway, just wondering if anyone who is good with cameras, I know a few people on here are I believe, can give me some feedback. Is this a pretty good starter one? Solid deal? Just go for it? Or any reason not to buy?
I was half tempted to just buy it and worry about it later and if its not what I want sell it for the same price or more but I want a good camera for various car events, life events and the main reason for buying is for the gf and family type stuff.
Thanks for any help guys.
