The D3200 is an excellent entry level camera. There are different kit lenses so without knowing which one I can't comment.Hi All! I've seen this camera plus kit lens at Cash Converters for £249. It's pre-loved! Any input/opinions? (I've seen it elsewhere a lot cheaper and with a better guarantee.)
TIA!

Mine cost £269 NEW with the 18-55mm VR II KIT LENS from Jessops last year, so £249 second hand doesn't seem that good a deal unless prices have jumped since then. It's a great entry level DSLR though.

Just be aware that the camera is small for a DSLR, so if you have larger hands (unlikely for a woman, but not unknown) then it may feel cramped to you.

Thanks very much, snerkler, Nige and Tom
!I think it's the 18-55mm lens. mpb.com have got one (used - body only) for £149. It's £249 used on Amazon; this is perhaps what CashConverters base their prices on. Jessops have it for £174 used and Camera Jungle for £144.40. I don't think I'm going to rush into anything!
@toni - my hands are medium-sized

Mine are too. I tried the D3200 about 3 years back and it felt terribly cramped, but OTOH I've a friend with one who loves it.

I just sold my D5200 with the 18-55mm for £250 and that had less than 3000 actuations and was essentially in as new condition, so there are probably better deals out there if you're prepared to wait it out.

Sorry to hijack but to save starting a thread what would most of you say a pre owned D5500 would be fetching, fancy a move up ( in terms of bells and whistles ) from my D3300. Have looked on ebay but price vary pretty wildly.
