Hi all, first time on the forum so if this is best moved to another section please let me know.
I have a 15 year old daughter who is showing real talent with photography. It is something she truly wants to follow and is also heading down the art / media route at school. She knows her way around Photoshop better than the teachers.
I want to buy her her first digital slr. A well loved used model will be fine for her first kit. I am no expert and find it overwhelming. I have a budget of 200 - 300 £.
I have been looking at Nikon models D40/D50 but also am now wondering if it is worth stretching to a motorized focus model. I wish to purchase within a week while i have the funds round me.
Can anyone point me toward a good start out model please? I was looking at nikon but only as they only make cameras and are not a jack of all trades manufacturer.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Dean
