Question - Camera £100 budget (2nd hand is fine)

[Lord Oort]

Had a quick search but didnt find anything particularly recent so here goes.

After my first proper mooch I realise my camera is really not up to the job. I have a Casio Exilim which does OK but its a bit fiddly to say the least. I have a budget of about £100 and am quite happy to go down the 2nd hand route. Can you guys recommend something not huge that will allow me to take shots a bit easier than the Exilim?

thanks

If I had £100 to spend, I'd be looking at one of these PowerShots for £85...

...and spend the rest on a decent case.

There's a totally new one of the same here for £100...

Hmm, if you're lucky, you might be able to get your hands on a Canon 350D? Nice camera, DSLR. Not the newest model and obviously it's definitely not the best, but that's still a decent camera. It's all I know really for that budget. Take a look on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...C1.A0.H0.Xcanon+350d&_nkw=canon+350d&_sacat=0

Hope this helps.

Good idea about the 350D.

The cheapest I could find on Ebay (buy It Now)as a kit is £110, including two batteries and a decent bag...

Next decent one with a black body is £130... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EOS...Cameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item43ce730729


To buy the body and lens separately the cheapest was £118 (Ebay Buy It Now)...

Body £75 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EOS...Cameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item233eb234d3

Lens £42.99 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EF-...=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item462684a3d8

Fantastic! I was looking at a 350D but I will definitely check out the powershot range.

edit: Gone for the £110 350D should arrive in a few days, thanks again.

Nice one. Next thing is get out there in the dark and practice !

Feel free to ask for advice.

 

[Lord Oort]

Cheers and ta for the heads up!

Just reading through some basic operation guides for DSLR's at the mo, I'm sure I'll be back with questions soon enough.

 

[WhoDerpsWins]

How did you get on in Bristol with the 350D?

 

[Lord Oort]

Not great as I didn't have time to get my camera bag from the car in the end so had to rely on my Note 2 which was pretty much useless.

I know that it is a little while ago but a belated HAPPY NEW CAMERA

 

[Oxygen Thief]

Yeah if you want a practice session lets do an evening out somewhere.

 

[Lord Oort]

Ahh thanks man! I actually upgraded to a 650D about a month ago though, as I got a really good deal.

 

[Miss Drippy]

Well ark at you; two cameras in only a few months. We'll have to head up your way and check some stuff out.

Me? Sure? I'll say yes then before you change your mind. Thanks!
