| Photography on a very tight budget At the moment I'm just using a Canon IXUS 60 to take photo's with with it's obvious limitations. I'm hoping to get something a little better.
I was casually looking at Fuji FinePix S9600 Digital Camera (£200) or Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd Digital Camera (£140) when a friend in work offered me his:-
Canon 350D with 18-55mm lens kit
with a spare battery, charger, 2 gig CompactFlash and a spare 256mb
all for £200
I wasn't looking at DSLR because of the initial cost and also because of the subsequent cost of lenses (bearing in mind I can only afford £100-200 payouts at birthday/christmas times and certainly no more than that!)
Under such tight constraints what am I better off going for?
Bearing in mind at the moment my main photo's are macro ones of insects & hopefully trying for some easier shots of birds in the future. |
