• I'd like to experiment with a DSLR - I've been using a Sony compact but I'd like something with multiple lense choices and RAW support. I have a couple of lenses for my Canon EOS film camera, so ideally I'd get a Canon again.

    If I have a budget of around £200, will I be able to pick up an older DSLR body and not be disappointed?

  • It might be worth going for an older full frame, which would be a 5D, EF lenses would work. The main difference with older cameras apart from resolution would be the interface and usability, focus tracking etc.. I think the 450D was the first low-end camera with Live view, around 2008, so worth checking if that's important for you.
    Something newer but lower end would be a 60D or 100D, EF (and EF-S) lenses would work, it's a crop sensor (APS-C) camera. The 18MP crop sensor Canons are not renowned due to sensor noise at higher ISOs though. But if not bothered about high-ISO stuff, a modern low end would have live view and touch screen.

  • If you'd like a Panasonic GX80 with 12-32mm (24-64mm full frame equivalent) lens, I'd be after £180, one of the rear jog wheels is sticky, apart from that it's in great condition. It's an excellent camera, just going to pick up a GX9 to replace it.
