I am not a person that needs the 'latest and greatest'. I buy 1-2yr old cars AND cameras. I just got a new Sony a3000 mirrorless at a good price and I am happy with it. I replaced an Olympus XZ-1 I got after the XZ-2 came out. Both good cameras at good prices. I would not be afraid to look at some of last year's models. You may get a very good camera at a very good price.
Just beginning to be interested in taking some better then P&S photos. Up until now mostly did grandkids:)
