For a while now i'd tell people to buy an old slr and a cheap prime since year after year innovations weren't really made. But nowadays prices have come down so far that a newish slr or mirrorless body and some of the new conveniences make such a world of difference. A newbie shouldn't have to worry about their old camera being limited by high ISO performance or having slow AF etc. I wouldn't say buy this years latest and greatest, but i wouldn't tell anyone to stick with a twelve year old camera (unless cash is an issue, then by all means). I mean buying the model from 3 years ago is still probably a good buy and you wouldnt have to worry about iso 800 being smudgy or autofocus points being so few. Then they can focus on taking pictures, which at the end of the day is what matters here.
