Beginner Camera

Hello,

I've always had a bit of an interest in photography. So looking at getting a bridge or even a DSLR, but with a fairly tight budget of about £250.

Is this possible, and what should I be looking at? Willing to go second hand, if that helps...

Though the Canon EOS 100D catches my eye, is it worth upping my budget?

Mostly scenery.

Nice one, thanks.

I've been looking at the rx100 now, which I think would be a good first step towards photography. Seems to sell for not much less, meaning it's a fail safe buy too

Thanks guys,

Think I've decided on the RX100 though, seems a perfect choice to learn with.

You won't be dissapointed. Takes stunning images and small enough to take anywhere. Images are still very good even after cropping

Awesome, very excited. Been holding off for ages, because couldn't justify an expensive DSLR. Almost every time I want a camera, carrying about a DSLR would be an inconvenience too. So it looks like it sits inbetween and still allowing me to learn the basics.

Getting on pretty well with the RX100, just need to learn how to take a decent photo! It's incredible how easy it is to take 'ok' photos though!
