How can I tell if a used DLSR is good?

Our take

When considering a used DSLR like the Nikon D3100 or Canon 1100D within your budget of €100-200, it's essential to evaluate more than just the shutter count. Start by inspecting the camera's overall condition; check for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Test the lens by ensuring it focuses smoothly and has no scratches. Assess the sensor by taking a few test shots in different lighting conditions. Familiarize yourself with basic camera functions, as hands-on experience will significantly enhance your understanding and enjoyment of photography.

Other than checking the shutter count what else should I do? I am a complete noob and I am talking about the 150€ D3100 or 150€ 1100D.

I want to get into photography so I wanted to get a budget camera to try it out. I have heard to test the lens, sensor and whatnot but I literally do not even know how to take a picture even with the camera let alone all that.

Budget is 100-200€ and the country is Macedonia.

I want to photograph nature and city views, so primarily photography.

I have no idea what I want I do not have any kind of idea about kits or anything.
