Dawn B 212 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 More info needed What do you want to photograph? What is your budget? Do you want a compact camera thats eady to carry, or something more versatile but bigger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest greengrass123 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) Sorry was a bit vague .Wildlife photograpy, something that is fast enough for action shots, and spontaneous shots dont want to spend a fortune, but within reason. SLR . Edited April 4, 2008 by greengrass123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn B 212 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Perhaps look at the Nikon D40 with a standard lens, for under £300. http://www.jessops.com/Store/s47076/0/Digi...alse&comp=n Or if you have a bit more cash, look at the Canon 400D with standard lens. http://www.jessops.com/Store/s35964/0/Digi...alse&comp=y Both are good beginner SLR with good write ups, best to go into somewhere like Jessops and handle one before you make a decision. Both cameras offer reasonable shutter speeds for action shots as well as preset modes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two good reasonably priced cameras there matie, and, there have been some good pictures on here, and other forums using them..but, there is little scope for wildlife shots with the standard lense, so a decent telephoto might be needed too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
