Ah ok, so I'm better off getting the standard kit that comes with the 15-45 lens to start with then buy the 22mm lens for close ups of my work? Thanks

Morning, I've found a deal on a M50 body so I'll need to buy a lens separately... If I get the 50mm will that be ok for taking general pics of the kids when we are on our walks or is that only good for the close ups? Thanks

Thank you so much for taking the time for such a detailed response. I'll start with M50 and get those cheaper close up lenses you mrntioned to start with and see how I go. Thank you Quote Quote

Thanks so much for your replies. Is a mirrorless the way to go? I do want to learn photography and I'm considering taking some local courses once this is over. Is a traditional DSLR better? I'm looking to spend around £500-600. Thanks so much.

Hi everyone, I have always wanted to learn photography and as we are still in lockdown I figured there is no better time to learn. I'm looking for a camera that will predominantly be used for: * Recording nail videos * Photos of my work (nails and semi permanent eyebrows, free mastectomy...

Hello, I've been searching for a course based in the north east that covers photography for a complete beginner. I've been granted local funding (up to £1000) for a course (or combination of courses within one company up to that amount) but I can't seem to find a decent local provider where I...

Hi, how much would you be looking for? Thanks

Hi, I've had a look at classifieds but they are all more expensive on here than on Ebay. I guess it might be worth paying a little more though for piece of mind that it's coming from a genuine photographer and works etc. I really want the 30D but it would mean having to save a bit longer...

Fab thanks lexie. Ii think 'll go for the 30d. What's a good price for a second hand one (body only).

Thanks for the info. So ideally I'm better off investing in the 30d...

That's great thanks for that. I've no idea what spot metering is... I'm looking to take pics of my son and family etc. Ive been told the nifty fifty is best for this so will be getting one of those if I can get the camera body cheap enough :)

Hello, After some advice earlier in the week I'm looking at getting a 20d or 30d as my starter camera. I just wondered if there's a massive difference between them as the 20d is obvioulsy cheaper than the 30d. Thanks :)

Hate to jump in on your post but I'd like to know the answer to this too :)

Fabulous thanks for that. Am I right in thinking that the double number models are better than the triple number models? So the 10d, 20d, 30d etc are better than the 400d, 450d etc or have I got that all wrong?! would a 10d be a good starter or is the 400d better? There's so many to choose from...

Thanks for that. So I'm better off just buying a body and then buying a better lens separately? What is a good lens to start with? I'm looking to use it mainly for photographing my son and other family members etc. (I want to learn how to do those nice portrait pics where the face is sharp...
