Buy camera used, or a new one?
I think he wants to buy a D40 Nixon, who will be my first DSLR. But I found one on eBay for £ 200, which is 2 years old, but used only as a backup from another camera. It looks like new. So I'm asking is will last a long time? I do not want to break, how long SLRs usually last? Should i risk buying a 2nd hand one or new one? Here is the link to the camera http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikon-D40-Digital-SLR-Camera-18-55mm-DX-lens-/230517285831?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN # ht_500wt_1154
As long as it has not been abused, it should work for quite some time. My D40 has remained fairly constant over the past 3 years and have had no problems with him. http://cheapdslrprofessional.blogspot.com/
