Hi all,

so youve probally been asked this before but hey ho, I want to get back into photography after studying it in college and doing it in my spare time many moons ago i want to get back into it as i used to really enjoy it.

But my question is what camera do i buy? I have been out the game far too long to know whats good and whats not so thought id ask the people i the know.

i dont want anything silly money, just something thatl take nice landscapes/picture of cars/skating shots nice Hd photos

what would you people recommend?

not really got a budget as such but nothing that will break the bank just a decent entry level camera i suppose.

Thanks in Advance

hmm around the 250 mark? maybe 350? the lower the cost the better really haha, but i know the more you pay the better you get. However i can always upgrade in a year or so if i still really enjoy it.

iv held a few different cameras and played with sonys/cannons/nikons found most quite comfortable to hold and easy to get along with. then again this was a few years ago so i suppose i should go hold a few.

i was just browsing on ebay seeing what they go for, if i did buy second hand i would drive to collect and have a play with it make sure anyway

iv recently moved too derby so not sure what shops are about but il definatly have a look

do the more compact systems have all the functions to change all the settings?

thanks for the links photopixels

my main things im looking for in the camera is to be able to get decent quality canvas' printed of my photos, be able to play around with the settings to get more interesting shots. i dont want to go too old because then i feel like my samsung s3 might take better photos haha just trying to find that happy medium.

Just check LCE website seems iv walked past it about a hundred times!
