ahh, yeh i was looking at second hand dslr cameras a while ago. are lenses typically a multiple of the body in terms of price? it seems ebay has some pretty sharp prices, but local prices here are still high. it seems the t5i is lighter than t5. one of the annoying things about dslr cameras is how big and bulky they are. the 50mm was about 50% of the cost of the camera itself lenses are usually expensive. I suppose flashes are the same kind of deal? expensive i'm not sure. prices used to be like $1000USD+ so prices are definitely cheaper than they used to be :) for camera+lense. http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2015/12/on-juniper-backdoor.html
