I am in a total panic because my main camera crapped out and I have a family reunion shoot in San Diego this coming Sunday. I have a super tight budget of maybe 350 to 400 tops and I need something that wont fail on me. I spent the last three hours refreshing the Canon refurbished site and they have the SL3 for a decent price but it keeps going in and out of stock which is driving me crazy... kinda losing my mind here lol.
Then I checked KEH and they have some bargain grade 80Ds but I heard those can be really beat up and I dont have time to return it if it arrives broken. My head is spinning with all these tabs open. Some people on reddit say to just get a used Sony a6000 but I really prefer the feel of a DSLR and I already have one old EF lens I can use so it makes more sense to stay with Canon I think. I also saw a Nikon D5600 bundle on eBay but the seller has zero feedback and I cant risk getting scammed right now.
Are there any specific coupon codes or flash sales happening this week that I missed? I really gotta pull the trigger on something in the next few hours so it ships in time. Does anyone know where the actual best deals are sitting right now?
I would suggest avoiding zero-feedback eBay sellers entirely when you are on a tight deadline. You might want to consider the Canon EOS Rebel T7 24.1MP DSLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens as a reliable fallback if the SL3 stays out of stock. It fits your budget perfectly. Be careful with KEH bargain grades; make sure to check MPB instead since they show photos of the actual unit.
