    Hey,

    I'm looking to buy a dslr camera and was hoping to pick up a used one for a but less of a steep entry price.

    Anyone know of places in the city where you can pick up second hand cameras that I could check out?

    Thanks

    the 2 camera shops on Oliver Plunkett St. (MacSweeny's and O'Leary's) will have second hand stock, however you will pay a bit extra as they will be taking a cut.
    You should also check out adverts.ie and donedeal and compare prices etc.

    You could try Cash Converters on McCurtin St (if they're still open).
    It's basically a pawn shop but they might have some cameras.

    Googled them and did a mental high five when I found this listing for Cash Converters, MacCurtin St, Cork ....... and then looked at the photos on the page :(

    Cash Connectors it is!

    I wouldn't bother to be honest, their prices are crazy on a lot of stuff and I'd imagine you'd have little come back if something wasn't up to scratch. O Learys have a decent selection of second hand gear and are decent to deal with. Adverts also has loads of photography gear.

    Too tootin right. I paid €80 for a Fuji pocket camera a few years ago. It was a lot of money I thought especially for the model number, turns out that both the camera shops already mentioned had brand new identical product for actually less money with two year warranty and all.

    Have you had a look in Entertainment Exchange on the Grand Parade? Basically a bit like Cash Connectors/Converters but seems a bit more respectable.

    Quality of their products seems pretty decent but prices don't seem to be much below new.
