Recognizing a good digital bargain, is only part of the challenge. Knowing where to find them is the real trick. You could check the usual suspects. eBay or Craigslist perhaps? The problem is you and another million or so internet shoppers are thinking the same thing. Garage sales can be hit and miss, and chances are your buddy next door is not interested in selling his camera just because Sony and Canon have been unleashing new gadgets every other day. Don't even think about buying from family, that almost never ends well. Unless of course you plan on leaving the country.
So, where and how does one go about find digital camera bargains? For starters look where no one else is looking. The best places, are usually the least obvious.
I found that digital camera in a discount shop, and the company that made it wasn't well known. In general, one rule to go by is not to buy electronics from grocery stores, like I did.
That digital camera was a disappointment from the first photo I took with it. It has hard to use and I needed several hours to learn how to take proper photos. Still, I didn't like it even then. The real problem that annoyed me was that this camera needed four seconds pause for each shot it took.
In any case, the EOS 400D grasp, is not overly difficult to manage. The controls are well placed and access is easy and convenient in all cases. Generally speaking, there should be no need to separate the eye of the viewer from the image they're trying to frame.
Sure, it's a bit of digging, and hard work, but nothing ever comes free. Not even bargains. Of course, it should go without saying but be extra cautious when buying used or discounted gear.
Consumer Reports helped us in that regard and together with my wife we decided that we should go with the "Best Buy" pick. It fitted out needs perfectly. Just like my experience taught me, I always research anything I'm buying and that is especially true for digital cameras.
