Which Camera?

[Beav]

Hello. As I do web design I was thinking of buying my own camera just after Christmas as it will come in very useful. Im understand camera's (abit) but don't know what to buy for my money. Im looking to spend up to £100/£120. You may say I don't need an expensive one as im a noob to it (I have taken pictures with my phone in the past but not for quality just memories) but the camera will need to produce high quality images as they will be used on websites. I have been recommended a DSLR second hand from ebay for my budget but do I really need a DSLR?

 

Please recommend away.

/Thanks

DSLR's seem to be a fashion accessory at the moment, if you don't have a need for that much control then you would be overspending.

I seriously doubt you can get a good DSLR for 100 dollars. I'd go with a nice point-and-shoot camera. :)

So could you recommend a good point_and_shoot camera :p Are they just as good picture quality wise?

I've got a Nikon Coolpix L110, Absolutely stunning picture quality in outdoor lighting. You could might be able to find a new one, and most defiantly an used on in your budget.

dslr's for 100$ are crap, dont waste money on that, i would go with an advanced point and shoot camera, they are not as good as a dlsr of course, but the quality is not bad.

Just search that camera in google - shopping and the cheapest that came up was £180

 

EDIT: I noticed Argos has one for £120. 1/2 price ;)

This is so true.

Totally agree with t. and Tom. You have absolutely no use for a DSLR if you use it just like any other point-and-shoot camera and don't use it's full potential.

Apparently there is no need to spend over £100 on a camera. My mum spoke to a photographer. He said one of the hardest things to picture is jewellery (my mum makes hand crafted jewellery). She got a camera reduced from £90 to £60 and it takes great photos on jewllery. Im just concerned as it will be on a website so needs to look excellent.

Im looking at picking a camera up tomorrow when I go in to town from Argos. Please can someone recommend me one for under £100.

 

What about this one? It can;t be bad, its got 5 stars and 151 reviews
