my oldest is wanting a camera for christmas
he's doing a degree in radio and television production and he wants his own camera to do stills and maybe a little videography(although for this he can use the universitys high end equipment)
he's also off travelling next summer so i'm sure he'll be taking it with
i'm budgeting £500 max inc a started/kit lens
do i go new and basic or good second hand and better
also do i stick to dslr or consider mirrorless
i'm a pentax user - currently KP and i've a few spare lenses that he could use but happy to consider alternatives
any product suggestions appreciated
