Answer» my daughter is starting a PHOTOGRAPHY course in high school (age17) and needs a digi camera. obviously it needs to be of reasonable resolution, just wondering whats the best buy for under £100 ($150)? Yeah I would ask the teacher to help you decided. He/she may be able to get a discount for you. i agree but you try telling a teenager that. lol she wants one and wants it now! if only schools would teach more academic subjects and less "hobbies". When I was a kid (and a teenager) they had this word, I believe it has fallen into DISUSE.. it's "no". + 1 Salmon...I would recommend a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS or G11. They have the manual settings of an SLR and the simplicity of a point-and-shoot. Plus you can add a flash and/or lenses to them if she really gets into it.Quote from: michaewlewis on July 09, 2010, 09:47:41 AM I would recommend a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS £255 Quote or G11. £369 Quote from: The original question under £100 This is a young teenager in high school. The number of models of digital cameras on the market is mind-numbing. So, all I can suggest is do some shopping at your preferred vendors to LOOK at some cameras and, if you want to spend some time searching through reviews, do a Google search on digital camera reviews and browse through some camera review websites. And, keep in mind, the skill she develops with whatever model of camera she's using, not the brand or model of camera, is probably the biggest factor is getting good pictures.I agree that calling the teacher for a recommendation is the best thing to do. Even if she hasn't started the class yet, most teachers would be happy to talk to future students. And frankly, someone who teaches a photography class probably knows more about cameras than anyone on this forum.Since the student is likely a junior or senior in high school that is looking at photography for a hobby, and not just something to capture random shots, a cheap ($150) camera isn't going to cut it for most of what she will be learning in class. She will need something with more control than a simple point-and-shoot camera if she wants to learn anything about photography. The reasons I recommended the more expensive cameras was because they would provide a better start than a point-and-shoot. If she really gets into it, she may want to trade up after a while for an SLR. The ones I pointed out have some of the same features as an SLR, but are quite a bit cheaper.Well, I'm very new hear & am hanging around for a response to my thread & saw this one, thought I'd come reply. I am an avid picture taker, but a terrible camera owner. Everytime I get one it ends up dissapointing me in some way. (Trying to save money & buy a cheaper one usually) But from my experience, there are only two brands I would ever own, Canon & Nikon. Depending on what she needs for class, go a step up. Trust me, as soon as you start learning you want bigger & better. But those are my two brands suggestions. |
