Looking for a good deal on a DSLR under $200

Honestly you can get a better mirrorless than a DSLR for 200 ish

Ive got a mint nex 5 with 18-55 kit lens, hvl7 flash, box , factory stuff for $200 shipped

hd video, with silent af

in a dslr youll have to spend more and get a t4i or newer as older ones are manual focus non stm
 
would be better if you got yourself a second hand A6000, it's 10 times better than a GH1 and outperforms many beginners and in some cases even Semi-Pro DSLR. you are kinda making a lost there
 
I think his main interest is video, which a hacked gh1 can do pretty good at for the price, image quality on a6k kills it but video on the sony is average at best
 
maybe but in terms of performance to price ratio and also the fact of future usability, GH1 is a very bad choice. a6000 leaves a good path for expandability and as you said the image is killer, very much up to the point of various semi-pro dslr and the 11fps shutter speed is magic!

and about video, yup it's not that great like it's competitors but for the price it is selling for in second-hand market or just new in general, it is definitely a market killer and defo better than a GH1. i had a a6000 and i found the video to be quite nice, it has that jelly type effect when you pan swiftly and kinda slightly (i mean very slightly) washed out compared to competitors but other then this it was excellent and even the low light performance was good, grainy at 6400 iso or above but very usable
 
If the a6k was anywhere near $200 I would've bought it haha and yes it's only being used for videos. I managed to get a GH1 with kit lens for $150. What really did it for me was that it had a screen you could flip as well. The next thing up would've been the NEX-5R which idk would've been worth it.
