solution is simple, buy brand new. most of the time its really worth the money than risk buying 2nd hand items.

most of the time dili nimo mahibaw.an if naa guba until you fully test the item, lets say a whole day shoot, dha ra jud na mahibaw.an if naa guba or what kay naa times dili makit.an ang guba with just press and press for a couple of mins

Mao ni akong tip about buying second-hand DSLR, ang uban nasulat na sa mga master nga nauna ug post ug expanded lang akong reply.

• Be patient, save up more and buy brand-new. Saves you from possible troubles.
• Bring a friend who knows about DSLR camera or is photographer (hobbyist, paid hobbyist, or a high-profiled professional)
• No offense to Wedding Photographers but do not buy second hand DSLR cameras used for Wedding Photography. They probably are among the most used camera available in the second-hand market. They are paid to photograph a once in a lifetime event, and if you were them you don't want to miss important details going on during the event - and one of the most common strategy to cover, compensate, and deliver specific number of shots is to shoot a lot. Apart from sport photographers these are cameras whose shutter are likely suffer from the abuse of continuous-shooting. The rule here is: The lower the actuation or "shutter-clicks", the better.
• Check actuation against the tested rating and records posted online:
  
  • By searching camera model and the keyword actuation or shutter rating at
    
    • Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing
    • Camera Shutter Life Database
      
    
    
  
  
• Do not be afraid to ask questions:
  
  • Unsay problema sa camera?
  • Wala ba ni natagak?
  • Kanus-a ni gipalit?
  • Unsay gamit nimo sa camera?
  • Nganong ibaligya nimo?
  
  
• Do not be afraid to take an hour to test the camera while the owner-seller is with you. Remember that it can be troublesome to have the owner warranty the product should you find defects later (and should the shop only honor warranty through original buyer) or it will only have a few days of personal warranty and the money you bought it would have been spent on something else (the upgrade), hence, it will be troublesome to argue getting a refund or returning a product w/ only a personal warranty.
  
  • Create a list of items to test or have the photographer friend thoroughly test it before money is exchanged.

paita pud ng ingnan ka after 1 year nga nadaot ang pop-up flash oy. siguro after a week to a month siguro masabtan pa hehehe

ang ma-advice lang gyud nako is always do your homework. research the current prices, problems of the model you intend to buy and etc.
