    Hey :) Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced camera that would be suitable for beginner photographers!? Something that can take a good picture but isnt all complicated...

    for under 300 go for a panasonic fz28 or fz38 - with that sort of money you should be able to pick up the camera, memory card and a spare battery maybe or a cheap lightweight tripod on amazon

    fz38 is the newer model but they are nearly identical my fz28 was 185 euro off adverts.ie...for an fz38 a shop wanted 360 euro for it. also you wont need a spare battery on the fz28 it lasts for a long time
