Is the canon eos 5d mark iii worth buying used?

Yes, I think the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is worth buying used. It's an older full-frame DSLR with a 22.3-megapixel sensor, and it's still a common used buy, so you can often get a lot of camera for less. That's exactly the kind of deal I think is worth chasing, as I explain in buying used.

It has no stabilisation in the body, so lean toward stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds. A sensible everyday kit could be:

• Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM for general walking-around shooting
• Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM for portraits, sport and distance
• Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM as a cheap, light low-light lens

Budget for a new genuine battery too, since old ones lose capacity.
