Hi 
Budget 300-400 euros. 400 is the absolute max. Prefer to keep it around the 300 mark.
Not adverse to buying 2nd hand (no private sells. Reputable refurbish companies only)
I want to keep the initial outlay quite low until I can decide if it's worth sticking some serious cash into.
My only exp with a camera is my 50quid point n shoot Sony...
Amazon has this on offer http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=358550147&pf_rd_i=468294
Any good?
I don't want anything too complicated. If I feel I can achieve something with a camera then I'll start looking into higher end consumer models once I got to grips with the basics.
What am I going to photograph...who knows
I live in a nice part of the world so it could be mountains, wildlife, people...anything really.
Talk to me about macro lenses...I've been on the odd photo forum and the close up of bugs are quite amazing. Are these pricey? are 2nd hand lenses worth the gamble?
At some point I might buy a reasonable telescope (I live in the sticks so no light pollution...). Something that would be good at taking picture via a telescope would be good.
Ta!
