if i were to buy a used DSLR, which brand should i get? i wanna be able to get used lenses for a fair price and they should be compatible with the next camera body (i assume i wanna upgrade in 5-10 years). seeing a lot of nikon in my price range (50-60€), does that make sense to get? #askFedi #photography RE: https://very.tastytea.de/notes/aknluwqvsc

@tastytea@very.tastytea.de Nikon or Canon, those are the two big brands to look out for. As for lens mounts, anything with an F (Nikon) or EF (Canon) mount will get you plenty of options for used lenses in all possible price and quality ranges.

@tastytea ergonomics are the deal. my hands hate canon, but ive been a Nikon user for a long time. make sure you get something with both wheels, lile a d700, D800, d300 etc.

@tastytea nikon used for afaik all their dslr the same mount so there are a lot of lenses on the used market. (Also have an old Nikon lens left if u want it). If you actually want to use the autofocus on old af nikkor lenses look up on the wikipedia list if the camera that you want to get supports it (i contributed that last month). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Nikon-DSLR-Kameras
