Can I just start by saying, I have been viewing posts from this forum for the last couple of weeks and I am well impressed with everyones photos, this has inspired me to join. I am very new to photography and until last summer 04 had never used a camera. I purchased an Olympus c-450 zoom and I am very pleased with the quality of pictures it produces. However, I would like to gain more control over the camera and would like to attempt dslr. Baring in mind I know nothing at all about photography nor understand the cameras functions and how to use them, I would still very much like to become more in control with what I shoot. I am quick to learn and have already learned so much from your forum, I find photography very therapeutic and rewarding but somewhat expensive, as my wife keeps pointing out. So my dilemma. I am interested in purchasing a camera to suit my needs and my wifes strict budget, having a quick search I have compiled the following cameras and wondered what your opinions are on the following.
Olympus C-8080 at £404
Fujifilm Finepix S7000 at £263
Canon EOS300D at £499
Fuji S5500 at £220
All of the above cameras are kits with lenses and my max budget would be £500 with some sweet talking. I dont want to buy cheap only to wish I spent that little extra again. So please can you give your advise on these or any other camera.
Many thanks in advance,
Ken.
