Can someone recommend a camera for beginners? I'd like to get some shots of my bike during the day/night, I'd also like them to be a high res as they'll be viewed on a 4K TV etc.

I've looked at DSLR cameras but the range is huge and i'm completely lost. Don't even ask about different lenses as i have absolutely no idea why one is better than the other.

I'll also be taking pictures of moving traffic and would like some good light trails and hopefully a few of my bike too.

Not sure what prices they range from so no budget atm.

Cheers. :)
 
Don't have a budget right now as i don't know the market prices, nothing too fancy as i won't need most options just as long as it does what i said in the OP.
 
Cheers.

So in terms of an actual camera, what do you suggest? Should I buy an average camera and buy a good lens or buy a camera with a lens included?
 
Im happy to buy used, I see lenses for sale quite often on the MM, do all Nikon/Canon lenses fit all cameras?

Will a newer Nikon lens work with an older camera?
 
Would you say this is a good deal for a starting camera? Am i able to do light trails etc with this camera?

Canon EOS 1300D Kit with 18-55mm III Lens Digital SLR Camera - Black - £249.

It has £50 off at the moment and has a lens included.

Hi if you just after taking pictures I and you just learning photography i can recommend used canon 50d, 6.5fps well build. Pair it with 18-55 stm lens and that should do for starters =]

Looking online though, it will cost me more to buy a second hand 50D and a separate lens rather than buying a complete package?
 
I've just got back from picking up a brand new Canon 1300D with a lens for £299 (Had a £30 off voucher for Argos). :)
