I'm buying a digital SLR and need help

**Exo** · 07-21-2014, 09:50 PM

So I'm heading over to B&H tomorrow in NYC to buy a camera. I have a friend who is a photographer in Florida who said I can get a refurbished/used one for around $500 bucks just for the body and a lens for another hundo or so.

The one he suggested was a Nikon D7000.

Anybody have experience with buying cameras so I don't get hosed? Any tips? My price range is $400 - $800.

Thanks

I wish I saw this sooner! What did you end up with?

Nikon D7000. The picture has really expensive lenses. I bought a 18-55 zoom lens with mine. It's decent. I'll be saving for a new one. I took all the photos in the art thread with the camera. I'm really getting back into photography.

I like, I am investing in a cannon d-slr myself. Very very soon, like my 30th birthday present to myself soon.
