[title] Choosing a camera
-[* icon_caution] ***If you buy a used DSLR or Mirrorless camera, make sure you know the shutter count (or common averages if all else fails). If this data is unknown, try and look for one the seller will disclose it, or reliable averages.*** ***NOTE: On Mirrorless cameras a high shutter count is less critical (~250k+ mech), but you should still pay accordingly.***
-[* icon_caution] ***Information on checking the shutter count can be found here***
+[* icon_caution] ***If you buy a used DSLR/Mirrorless camera, make sure you know the shutter count (or an average). If the seller does not know, look for a camera with the EXACT number advertised in the listing or buy from someone willing to check and disclose it, or give an average for cameras they have sold prior.***
+ [* icon_caution] ***NOTE: Mirrorless cameras with a high shutter count are likely to be fine, but still warrant a good discount, even with ~250k+ shutters being common.***

-[* black] ***Smartphone:*** Everyone has one at this point. For the most part, many have cameras which are good enough (or similar quality to a good P&S). ***While not as good as a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, the quality today is generally excellent.***
-[* black] ***Mirrorless:*** These are similar to DSLRs but have fewer moving parts and smaller bodies. Many use the same sensors as DSLR cameras and use different lenses, ***but can accept SLR lenses with an adapter (Sony LA-EA, Canon EF>RF, Nikon F>Z).***
-[* black] ***DSLR:*** Similar to Mirrorless cameras, but use different lenses. These still get better battery life compared to mirrorless cameras (and sometimes better lens options as well) but are much larger. ***NOTE: While I am showing a prosumer DSLR, it is not a requirement. I got a good deal on it due to a low but higher-than-average click count.***
-[* black] ***Point and Shoot:*** Due to smartphone camera quality advancements, these are now far less common. However, they are still a decent fallback option. ***Due to most smartphones being “good enough” MOST P&S cameras are discontinued or get discontinued first. Be prepared to buy a used camera and potentially a new battery if the runtime is poor!***

The used market will be more reliable as the cameras offered will be significantly better than most new options.***
