    I'm looking at getting myself a decent camera but i don't have an idea really what i should be looking for or what makes i should look at and what to avoid. I'd be looking to spend between €300 and €400. I was looking at pixmania this evening and saw one or two which i like.

    If any of you have any advice, that would be great or even if you can point in my the right direction.

    Best thing you can do is look up reviews all across the internet to find out what camera suits your needs... I was in your shoes about 3-4 months ago and I literally put hours and hours into reading and reading reviews online - found this site to be the best for reviews but amazon is greaet for customer reviews too to see what people think of the cameras...

    A good bridge camera is probably the best thing to get for 300-400... even if you got a second hand dslr you'd have to invest heavily on new lenses and that all costs money whereas a good bridge camera will give you a very verstile range of focal lengths for a cheap price - but don't just jump at the bigger numbers - too many pixels and too much zoom is bad in bridge cameras because the lenses and sensors aren't suitable enough and problems occur as a result...

    DON'T JUMP AT BIG NUMBERS - that's the best advise I can give you and just read the reviews and choose for yourself...
