Hey all,
im a very new member to the site and joined so i could get some advice from all u lovely people!
iv been looking to get a new digital camera for a while, at the mo i have a pretty basic Canon Powershot A410 (3.2 mp) and i dont really know where to start looking for a new one! iv been doing a bit of research but as im not too sure *** im looking for, its a bit complicated. im basically looking to develop my photography skills further as its something im really interested in, and i want a camera thats not overly complicated but wil give me the opportunity to experiment with different settings etc and take sum really good pics. i want one with a really good zoom and also a black and white setting. i also only have about 150 pounds to spend which will obviously limit me to an extent.
any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated! thanks a lot :)

Hello...and welcome! :)

For £150 i'd go with something like a Canon IXUS 75.

7.1 Megapixel, under £150 and is a very good compact. Has plenty of crazy settings (and yes, has B+W) for you to experiment with but at the same time it's not overly complicated (the user interface is great).

I have the 65 (the version before it), and it's great. The 3 inch screen on the back is so awesome.
