Got a used Lumix FZ1000 for $400, with 2500 photos taken. I know it's a newbie camera since you can change the lenses, but it's literally my first camera. I also want to record some videos so its 4k helps.

I get it next week and I'm already going crazy by looking for addons and extras on Amazon.

I have no idea, but I saw it mentioned in all used cams offers so I assume it's important.

If you want a decent cheaper camera from what I've read, mine's little sister FZ300 is also OK. Less pixels, more zoom in enchange.

if youre just learning its fine, I dont consider myself an expert but I do partake a bit in photography- youre gonna wanna learn about composition and the rule of thirds at minimum and then like read On Photography by Susan Sontag if you really wanna get into theory

To my understanding- its basically just wear and tear, the shutter moves up and down to allow light to reach the sensor so the mechanics do get used and can wear down tho I dont think Ive ever seen an SLR shutter wear out - think like tires and how they wear down - 10k photos might be the end life for an entry level SLR so assume the risk if you buy something near that range
