I'm about ready to retire my Canon SX 160 16x zoom camera, but I'm having a hard time deciding what camera (either Nikon or Canon) I should be looking for. I'm on S.S. and don't get a very big check every month, so I was just wondering what I could afford. What would give me the most bang for the buck. Thanks in advance.
David,,,... Oh yea, should I even conceder a used camera?
I have never used one, but I have read many good things about the Canon SX50. I think it is about $400 new.
A used or refurbished camera can be a good move on your part but only if you buy from a reputable dealer such as B&H or Adorama IMO. Taking a chance on a lesser known dealer or individual is not something I would think you would want to do on your fixed income. There are a number of reputable dealers so I suggest you get some feedback from Hog members as to who they are.
