So I have been wanting a D3000 for the longest time. Over a year I keep going to Best Buy , Waiting for that killer deal to come along tell myself it is time to buy it. While I have the money for it I am very picky on making big purchases like this ( over 100-200 dollars is a big purchase for me.) It took me almost 5 months to buy a new laptop lol.

So Ive been reading about DSLRs for along while and it seems like the better choice would be to just jump to a D5000. While the kit for the D3k was almost 650 at best buy with a extra lens and what not. I am finding alot of stuff on ebay for a D5k kit with extra lens tripods etc.


What I am getting at is would you risk buying used to hopefully get a better product for the same price as the lower quality unit new?

DSLR shutters only last so long before repairs fyi.
