New or Used ??

[Nick549]

Hello all, I'm currently running an EOS Rebel XSi with kit lenses that I plan on using with whatever new camera I get. I shoot as a hobby and plan on keeping it at that. It was recommended to me to look for a used  EOS 7D MKII. In my mind I would be better of getting into a mirrorless for that price like the R50. The used 7D MKII's I've seen are 500-700 for excellent condition. Please school me !!

Hi Nick and welcome:
It would help to have some extra information about your needs.   Can you look at the following article, consider the questions it poses and get back to us with responses please?   Also, knowing precisely what lenses you have not (e.g. EF-S 18-55 is usm and EF 75-300 usm) would be useful.  Also considering budget, it is likely that any newer camera will show the age of any of the kit lenses from that era - we're looking at 16 years old technology here - so would your budget include a lens or lenses?

Questions to consider when buying camera gear 

Thanks.
