whats best to buy now?

[dellenty69]

My birthday is coming and i would like a camera, i know nothing about them, and have never been interested till now.

She has said she will spend £300 on a camera for me witch i think is excellent and will probably suit all of my capability's.

We have spoken and both agreed that a new one is best but i could also get a near new conditioned one of a higher value on eBay etc.

Problem is i have seen plenty and liked them all. but all i see is numbers and digits (it seems the more numbers and digits i see, the more i like it)

It will be used for the likes of car/bike pics and maybe some pics at races.

Suggestions and links are most appreciated.

A basic DSLR kit is the option I would go for.

The one above is the Canon 1100D.

But here's a couple of other Canon models direct from Canon's ebay shop.

For £30 more I'd go with the 500d. I like mine and so much so I'm gonna actually buy a new 50mm prime.

[dellenty69]

Yeah id say you get away with it i mean i posted a delicate structure of a flower

That's structure to me. In my view it's anything with molecules holding it together
