My old DSLR shutter gave out right in the middle of the Perseids

It was the peak night last August, and I was set up in my backyard. The mirror just locked up with a sad click after about 200 shots. Had to switch to my phone for the rest of the night. Anyone have a good, cheap DSLR body they'd recommend for a backup?

Totally get that. Used to think you needed a fancy backup too, but my old Nikon D90 changed my mind. That thing is a tank and you can find them for next to nothing now.

Man, that's the worst timing. Used to think you needed a fancy new body as a backup, but my old Canon T3i just won't die (got it used for peanuts). Something like that might surprise you.

Seriously, my old D7000 made me drop that whole backup camera idea too.
