New camera suggestions?

[Andybtsn]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to replace my ageing Panasonic DMC-FZ50 in the coming weeks in preparation for my venture to the US. The camera has served me well for a few years now but I feel I could get more from a new camera. Moving shots with my daughter it really is disappointing so I'd be looking for a camera that can capture shots whilst she's tearing around.

My budget is around £500.

I'm not really into the whole Photography scene so a camera that is easy to setup and use straight away is what I'm after.

I'm after a DSLR ideally, the difference in quality between my FZ50 and my wifes fancy new Samsung Compact Camera is quite something.

Thanks

Andy

Thanks for the suggestions. I will be using it only for pictures so not fussed about the video side, I like the idea of the 650D but with accessories I think that will be near £600 with a lens obviously?

I will look into the other ones.
