Top Recommendation for Portraits And Weddings
For photographers doing portraits, events and wedding work, our pick is the Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only) at Rs. 675,000: it uses a full-frame sensor, has fast autofocus and burst shooting, captures a lot of fine detail and is sold body only, so budget for a lens. We put it first because larger sensors give softer backgrounds and cleaner images in dim wedding halls. If you want to spend less, the Canon EOS 200D Mark II with 18-55mm IS STM (New) at Rs. 165,000 is the most affordable choice here.
Buying a Used Canon DSLR
Canon EF and EF-S lenses work on EOS R bodies with Canon’s adapter, so a used Canon lens is never wasted. We do not list used prices, because no two shops agree on them. Compare several offers and test before you pay.
Second-hand bodies are common in Pakistan’s camera markets. Check the shutter count, look for dents that suggest a drop, and make sure the memory card door and battery door close firmly. Lenses with fungus or scratched glass are rarely worth buying at any price.
Building a Complete Kit
The leftover Rs. 25,000 is best spent on a 50mm f/1.8 prime, the classic portrait lens or a speedlight flash for indoor events.
Checking a Second-Hand Camera
A used camera can save a lot of money if you check it properly. Ask for the shutter count and compare it to the rated life. Look at the sensor for scratches, test every button and dial, and check the lens for fungus or haze with a torch. Buy from sellers who allow testing and give a receipt.
