Hey KWISS! Thanks for the advice!
I just realized all my gear is refurbished lol.
Never had an issue buying used/refurbished gear. Too expensive to buy new

Duly noted, I'll definitely be looking used since I'm not in a massive rush.
Buying the bodies used is the way to go. Most people buy DSLRs with the intent to learn but a high percentage end up just not doing it. If you lookin ebay you'll see how many previous gen cameras are on the market with low shutter counts. I bought my 5D mkII with verticle grip from a guy on craigslist three years ago for $1300. I could sell it now and only be out a couple hundred. If you're patient you will find great deals on used bodies. 7D bodies are selling for around $550 on ebay.
The lenses don't depreciate as much as the bodies do. I've never actually bought a used lens yet. Not that I'm against it, just have yet to run into a deal good enough for me to not by new.
Hmm, any concerns buying off eBay? Or just stick to decent sellers and you should be fine?
What are the advantages to the different bodies, 5Ds and 7Ds and such, or does anyone know a good read on that?
