So, my girlfriend and I have been wanting to get a DSLR for some time now. I've gone to numerous review sites discussing the best "2014" and "2013" cameras to get.
As we're just getting into the hobby, I'm not certain I want to invest in the new Nikon D5200 or Canon equivalent just yet.
What would you all recommend as a somewhat dated, but adequate DSLR that would give me something to do in my free time?
Get the cheapest/lowest Canon or Nikon model you can get (Keh might have some good used gear) and spend no more than $120 on a 50mm fixed focal length lens at f/1.8 or f/1.4.
Set the thing to all manual and spend about 3 months figuring it out.
