[QUOTE="bluzman, post: 840124, member: 47800"] I recently was gifted a D3300 with a very low (less than 4,000) shutter count. It's an excellent camera that produces great images as you're no doubt aware. [ATTACH type="full"]423765[/ATTACH] That said, I also own a Z50ii.

OTOH, if family/landscape/vacation photography is more your preference, then lightly used Nikon DSLRs are readily available at low cost as an alternative to mirrorless. For example, at MPB even a D500 in "Excellent" condition with a shutter count substantially less than your D3300 can be had for less than $1,000 and a 6 month warranty. Similar deals for a "Like New" D7500 (<$750) or a "Like New" D5600 (<$450) are available. I'm sure other sites would yield similar results.
