Hi, I am considering buying a dSLR and one of particular interest to me is the canon d5. I have found out that if i buy a second hand one i could save several hundred pounds, but what are the chances that it will have a defect?
are there any common defects found in d5s after a years service? should i make sure it has been serviced and refurbished and should i expect a guarantee (i would be buying it second hand through a dealer)? what sort of things should i look out for when looking at the camera and how should i test it to make sure it is in perfect working order? what are the benefits of buying a new d5? also when is cannon expected to release its next generation of the d5 camera? and will a d5 retain its value when the next generation is released, how much might i get trading it in for an upgrade?
thanks,
