Dec 2024: Very good and easy to handle DSLRs have become affordable. This used Nikon D3300 in excellent condition, shows a few very minor scuff marks and wear here and there on the body, screen is without scratches, everything works. The shutter count is approx. 16,000 (of 100,000 rating). It was reconditioned, and is complete with original accessories (battery, charger, caps, cable, neck strap) and an SD Card, so you are good to go. The lens is very good: autofocus is snappy and VR (image stabilisation) very effective. Nikon 24 megapixel D3300 packs a punch, yet is excellent for beginners. It has a built-in guide that, when switched on, will help you decide what settings are optimal for what you are planning to take photos of. Turn the guide off and you have a camera with semi-professional features. The fantastic still-current Nikon 24MP sensor was introduced in the D3300 and can create 30fps Full HD video (clean HDMI out for streaming!). Many lenses for this system available as well as many other camera options. We are in Cobble Hill but I drive to Victoria and Duncan at least twice a week.
