I'm a moderator for Hardware Recommendations on SE, so I have some experience (and some strong opinions...) on this one. Let's go through your suggestions. 1. **Where can I buy this particular camera?** **Off-topic**. The only valid answer to this can be "Google it". It's on sale at X shop or on Y website on one day, but when someone else has the same question a month later, it will have changed; unless we want the same question to be asked again two months later and have a new version of every one of these questions every month or two... this is off-topic. 2. **Is this particular model a good camera?** **Off-topic** as stated. The only answer to this _as stated_ is "almost certainly yes". There are lots of good cameras and few bad cameras; what this is really wanting to ask is "is this a good camera _for me_?", for which we need more information. See 6. 3. **Is this camera at this price a good deal?** **Off-topic**. The answer to this is "do your market research". If you can't find it cheaper, it probably is, or it's very new and you should wait a few months for the price to drop. Might be worth having a canonical/FAQ on these lines, though. 4. **Is this camera selling company reputable or am I going to end up being scammed?** Ambivalent, but maybe a tentative **on-topic**? This isn't something that'd work on SE, but perhaps sharing personal experience of companies like this could work here. 5. **Should I buy camera X or camera Y?** **Off-topic**. See 2; see 6. This is way too subject to fanboyism as-is: we need more information about what you want a camera for, what you're going to do with it, and how much you want to pay. 6. **These are the features I am looking for and this is my budget, can you recommend a camera for me?** **On-topic**. These are the unicorn questions that we should be looking for; the more details, the better. When a question is qualified like this, it becomes easy for those acquainted with the world of cameras to look through the catalogues and figure out what matches. 7. **I am selling this type of camera, how much is it worth and where should I sell it?** **Off-topic**. See 3: "do your market research". Likewise, probably worth having an FAQ on "how do I sell a camera", though.
