If you don’t mind buying used, craigslist.org is a place where every once in a while you can find a great deal! My brother just found a fabulous deal on a DSLR for me, and I’m really happy with it! It was a Pentax K-5 which used to be Pentax’s flagship till the K-3 came along. Anyway, it is weather-sealed and came with a weather-sealed 18-135mm lens along with a 100mm f4 macro lens, a 50mm f2 lens, and a 35-70 f2.8-3.5 lens. Also included was a Youngno external flash, a few wireless triggers, a cheap tripod, a camera bag, CPL and ND filters, and a Pelican hard shell case. All for just $580.00! As you can imagine, I was tickled pink!
So, don’t forget to check your local craigslist if you’re on the market for a “new” camera, you never know what might turn up!
