Hello everyone.

Im really interested in photography, tho i never had a good camera, lenses etc.
Now i got some cash laying aside and i wondered what camera to buy. About 300 euroes.

My girlfriend owns a Nikon coolpix p90 which i absolutely like because of the easy handling.
I know its not a really good camera but, well... What camera should i buy? : /

I'd suggest you do a lot of research, photography has a lot of different components that you will need to learn if you are new to it. If I were you and you wanted something better than a coolpix I would look into nikon's entry level cameras (perhaps d3000, d5000 or d5100) lenses is where the money should be spent. I can't tell you what lens to buy because it all depends on your budget/what you want to do with it.

Or if you want u can w8 and spend $550 (391 euro) for a Canon t3, or somthing better.

Imo you shouldnt spend 1000 us dollars on your first camera beacuse maybe later in life u dont end up using it and it just sits and collects dust.
Imo you shouldnt spend over 700 us dollars
