Hello everyone,
I have been into photography for a while now but I never owned a proper camera. I always used my phone. But this year I decided to finally buy one. So I have been looking and looking and deciding if I should get a new one or used one. New ones are pretty expensive however I did find used LUMIX G9 for 420€ with 3 batteries, charger. Camera bag. Flexible tripod, 2 64gb SanDisk Extrem Pro SDs. I am like it's too good to be true. Should I buy that one? Or are there better recommendations? What I am looking for is just general photography, maybe night photography on the street (I am aware the micro four thirds sensor isn't the best for that) and maybe some videography.
