I am a newbie who is looking to get back into photography after being out of it for nearly 40 years. I “accidentally “ fell into it back in 1983, when I took advantage of an offer on a credit card bill. The offer was for a Nikon slr bundle. I purchased it in a whim, and due to some mix up in their billing, I never did pay for it, but instead, got 3 more kits which I sent back like a good little girl.
Anyway, I dragged my Nikon out the a few weeks ago and those old desires came back again. However I found out it was way way outdated and replaced by something called a DSLR. So. To make a long story short, I am presently saving up for a Canon EOS Rebel T7 bundle on Amazon. It’s not fancy, but since I am now in my mid 60s I don’t WANT anything too fancy and advanced. I absolutely CAN’T wait to get started again in my nature photos.

I contemplated getting a refurbished one from Amazon. I’m not sure if the quality though. They SAY they have been inspected and are perfectly fine, but you never know.

Thank you! I regret getting out of photography. I loved the way it gave you a totally different way of looking at the world.
