Olympus EM-1 MKIII for beginner I have seen this model (body only) online with a shutter count of 9000 for £730. It seems like a reasonable price?

What’s a good, cheap-ish DSLR camera to start off with for a beginner photographer? I’m looking to dip my toes into digital photography soon, but I don’t know what to look for in terms of digital cameras.
