I want a good camera and my brother has one he might sell me

Its a canon 5D Mkii

I never had a camera before

My budget was around 600-900 euros for a good one but he told me that camera is nice and he would give It to me for 350

What would you guys suggest me to do/buy?

Thanks

E: I would use It as a hobby... Not to do any specitic thing

"The best camera is the one you have with you." If you are down to carry it on hobby days (or more regularly), I say go for it!

Can't go wrong with Canon. Seems like a fair price for a well maintained 5d ii.

The more interesting/important question is what lenses does he have for it/are you interested in. I recommend a 35 or 50mm prime if you are starting out to learn how about how photography works (depth of field, bokeh, etc).

Bought It with a 35mm, a nice one 🙈

Nikon Z6ii, 85mm for portrait, 14-30mm for landscape

that's a little over the top if he's looking to get a hobby for around 600-900 euros lol



hope you have fun with it! photography is a great hobby to have

Ive tried it a couple of times already, but atm im doing a master so I dont have that much time

bought yongnuo yn360 iii pro rgb to do some cool photos too

Cool you could do some long exposure stuff with those and a tripod

would be nice to see a video where it explains what you just said, im a noob on this rn

quick youtube search:
