Curiosity begs to ask the question for the uninitiated and the unintended.
If one has a limited budget of R10k and is looking for a second-hand camera, what would the “knowledgeable’s” recommend to be a good purchase (body only and price) within the Canon range that offers quality for price and use across various genre’s of photography?
Just asking.

About Me

Danie Bester
DPC Founder, Programme Director. Fine Art and Commercial Photographer
The more abstract forms of photography like impressionism and minimalism intrigue me. I prefer creating images that depict energy, mood, and silence. To illustrate my themes, I use mainly long exposures, selective focus, and focus blur. My philosophy is that the camera is just a paintbrush and that thought-provoking images stem from a developed mind.
