New camera suggestions

[drakkie]

Hiya,

I finally have money to buy myself a camera(borrowing camera's sucked). I was hoping you guys have some suggestions about models.

Requirements:
- adjustable shuttertime and stuff
- good quality
- no point and shoot camera preferably
- if possible for the budget changeable lenses
- budget is 250€.

i don't mind going second-hand.

for that much and not P&S and with manual control you're gonna have to go second hand.

I was just looking around a bit and found the olympus SP-310 for 239€. On this website they claim it is a digital slr camera but im not to sure about it being a true claim,anyone know ?. if it is i will go to the shop as soon as possible

Fuji S5600/5200...

Whatever you gonna purchase, don't buy a Nikon 5400 Coolpix.
I have one, and it was a big mistake.....

The xD picture cards it uses immediately had me stop considering it The xD is about 5 times as expensive as it's competitors

Looks good, and has RAW mode to, which is really good. Manual exposure as well as Tv and Av modes and manual focus, apprently

does it have to be a digital camera, for 250 euro you can buy a decent film SLR....

Well i considered that too But becuase i am pretty novice if it comes to the settings like shuttertime,aperture etcetera it will cos me too much money to develop all these films while trying to learn. with the digital offcourse there are no development costs,which will save money on the long haul i think.
I was also looking at a Panasonic Lumix FZ20. It goes slightly over budget(329€) but i'll borrow some from my parents. Also the cards are fairly cheap.
Is it any good ?

You're not going to find a DSLR for 250 euro. Even second hand, the earliest ones are still more expensive. If you can wait and increase your budget you could get a Nikon D50, otherwise, you'll have to settle for a P&S.

I'd say Canon Powershot A610. My aunt has a A620 and it's really a great camera.

LOL an slr? i think not

[Piacki_117]

Definitely not. The only digital SLR you may be able to buy with €250 is a Canon D2000.

canon powershot range. should do you good. my a85 is brilliant.
