Title: Recommendation/Advice Wanted Please
Post by: JerryBerry on April 10, 2012, 11:08:40 AM

As my birthday approaches and I know I will have some money to spend on myself Im thinking of putting my birthday funds towards a camera. Im constantly frustrated at all the great shots I miss of Jerry whilst we are out in the woods or on the fields - and also of the surroundings. So looking for something decent (will also get lots and lots of use on my three children) and has to capture action shots etc. Also what lenses would I need?

Thank you in advance  :blink:

Hi there I wouldnt buy from ebay personally as some cameras on there are returns and refubished I would get your self along to a Jessops store maybe a bridge camera would be ideal rather than SLR they would be able to advise you on the best options even if you dont buy from them. Happy snapping!!

I got my camera 2nd hand off ebay and it came with the 18-55mm lens, 2 memory card, 2 batterys, the spare battery holder that attatches to the camera, a bag and uv lens etc and i only paid 200 for mine
Its a Canon 450D SLR

Here are some of the pictures i have taken with it - Without using any the features and just the basic capture mode: (and im an amatur lol)
