Hi Everyone
I am currently shooting with a Canon 450d. Somehow this has seen me through professionally for the last few years or so but I am in need of an upgrade.
I like to photograph tethered to my lap top and the USB connection seems to have broken.
I need a camera that is compatible with Bowens flash lighting system as all of my work is studio based.
I don't have a high budget (looking approx £300).
Only need camera body.
So far the Canon EOS 100D has been suggested and the Canon EOS 1200D.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lise,

What about a used 60d for under £300 or even a used 50d? WEX has 50d's for anything from £165 up. I had a 50d actually 3 or 4 and in terms of build quality etc is certainly a step up from the 450d. Any camera will trigger your lights. All you have to do is connect them via the lead or triggers.
 
Is there a risk in buying previously used equipment though?
 
I would always buy used. The savings are just too great and camera's are hardy little things as long as they've not been abused. I would find a good rule of thumb is to buy from someone with feedback on here or from a shop like wex where you will get a guarantee. The shutter count can be a good indicator. I would be looking at something under 30,000 but that's just me. I have bought second hand for years with no issues whatsoever.
