Rebel 831 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hello, I'm looking to buy a camera, mainly for family events, social gatherings, a bit of hunting/wildlife, etc. I'm looking for some advice as to what would be a good camera at a reasonable price. What should I be looking out for when buying and where is a good place to buy online? Can you pick up good cameras second hand is there any risk in buying second hand? Thanks for your help.

forest of dean redneck 11,189 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Years ago I picked up a Nikon dslr for £70 i would look for a bridge camera ? Nikon Olympus canon all good makes I normally google the model number and read reviews from places like currys or Amazon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C556 351 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Get a good quality compact camera you can fit in a pocket. The images the higher end ones produce are comparable to a DSLR's if you're looking at computer screen size. If you need to lug a DSLR around whenever you want to take a picture, you'll end up leaving it and just using your camera phone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,579 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm very pleased with a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ150 bridge camera, has 24 times zoom. I could not afford a good body with 600mm zoom lens so went for that. This camera has been superseded which has a bigger chip with gives good results, my brother in law has one and i'm impressed with the results he gets.
