Is a used dslr still worth buying?

Yes, I still think a used DSLR is worth buying, especially a full-frame one. Cameras and lenses last a long time, and a body that's a generation or two old often gives you most of what you need for a fraction of the price. That's the whole case for buying used.

Two I'd still happily point you at. The Nikon D810 has a 36.3-megapixel full-frame sensor and is still a strong used body for landscape work. The Canon EOS 5D Mark III has a 22.3-megapixel full-frame sensor and is an older workhorse that's still a common used buy.

Whichever you choose, budget for a new genuine battery. Old batteries lose capacity, and that's the first cost to plan for. For help choosing a first body, see Your first camera.
