Dont laugh but I only have £150 for a Camera,

What do you guys reccomend??

Would it not be better to save up and get something better than to just splash out on something that isnt as good as you could get in a months time maybe. Also what sort of camera are you looking for, point & shoot or a DSLR.

The other thing you could do is check out Ebay for a better camera at a lower price. You might not get a Nikon or anything spectacular for that but you would certainly do better than buying new.

I would recommend the Sony W80 or Panasonic Lumix TZ3 they can be brought for under £150 from Cheap Discount Digital Cameras

Digital Cameras Discount

Tz3 is an excelant camera!

and i paid a lot more than £150 for it and its still worth double that to me now

Nooo for £150, Amazon.co.uk: Fuji FinePix S6500 Digital Camera (6.3MP, 10.7x optical zoom) 2.5" LCD: Electronics & Photo

Personally i rate this thing better than most basic SLR's. You can use it as a point and shoot, or flcik to manual and you have more settings than on my 350D. personally there a great bit of kit, at a fraction of the price. However if you want the versatility, and picture quality, its an SLR everytime, it will cost you more, but buy say a canon or nikon body and len.... and you set up for life, providing you dont change manufacturer.

Canon 350D -Sigma 10-20mm,Canon 18-55mm, Canon 55-200mm, Canon 100-400mm L

Its my birthday tomoz and im getting a Finepic S6500

Cant Wait!

No offence im new to photography aswell...

but i really dont think £150 is going to get you very much camera

Are you talking SLR?

About 2 years ago I purchased Fuji FinePix S5700 for probally under £150 i think.

But again not SLR.

But an ok camera..not the best but easily understandable Menu and general settings.
