Re: What's the best digital camera to get?Will you be taking photos in the dark?(Original post by Bellissima)
everything... people, animals, scenery.... anything
no i dont use video

Will you be taking photos underwater?
Will you be taking photos at sea?
These are the kinds of things we need to know. Even cheap ass cameras have varying pros and cons. Ill leave you in the hands of SnowRose though, I hate doing this kind of thing and she seems to be the one who helps noobs out around here -

Re: What's the best digital camera to get?Sorry guys but I'm going to spoil the party here and just come out and say it.
Bellissima, you cannot get anything that takes pictures worth looking at within your budget. If you want a camera and that's all you have to spend, put it in the bank and save up some more. -

Even if you want one of those cute little touch-screen compact cameras, you are going to have to spend more than £50. My sister got a samsung compact camera recently (Samsung isn't a very good brand, so they are cheap) and even that cost about £200. -

Re: What's the best digital camera to get?Harsh, plus I disagree. Plenty of cameras at that sort of price are fine for general use - take photos of nights out to put on Facebook and so forth.(Original post by Suzanathema)

I want it for myself. However, I don't believe everyone should.(Original post by Bellissima)

Have a look at the Nikon Coolpix L25. If you can push £50 a bit, the Nikon Coolpix S3000. Bear in mind the colour can affect price - unpopular colours cost less.
