Has got me thinking... could i really do this?... i supose theres only one way to find out..

ive never really played with a "real" camera only stupid digi ones with very little settings...

i have used a older film camera with a ok lens.. the shots i took looked ok.. but im sure they could have been better lol

so here goes.. what im wanting is.

a guide on starting out in the world of photography

id be looking for a camera and lens that was cheap and cheerful but could produce some ok shots.. something for me to learn with really

not looking at slr gear as that really is pricey for a beginner

any help would be great lol

thanking you all

oopppsss forgot to add a budget lol

say £200... for now... it possible?

You can get some nice SLR style thingys for under £200, ie. the canon S1 and also the fuji S5500, as in the above post.

Is this what you want, or would you prefer something that is compact, but with more creative features?

For interchangeable lenses you're looking at SLR, digital or 35mm.

You won't get a dSLR for £200 unless you're VERY lucky but you could get a 35mm with a couple of lenses.
