    Good morning,

    I wondered if anyone has a checklist of things they look for when buying a second hand camera?

    Thanks.

    I always go into buying with a specific purchase in mind, so I would target 1 or 2 models your shopping for used. Then honestly I would just get one that looks well cared, you could look at shutter count but I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about it, if it was used that much it will show signs of its age. Test it before buying if you have the opportunity,
