Help me out with choosing a camera please?!

[helps]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about getting new camera, but I'm really new to this world and don't understand well parameters and functions. I just enjoy taking pics and I'd like to get some good quality pics out of it.
I don't care much what brand it's gonna be. Only problem I've got is as usual money. I'm a student and I can't afford to pay a lot, because I'm taking care of myself and dog, sooo...
I'd say price should be something around 200. I might add, but cheaper-better.
If I'm insane and there's no way to get good camera for this price, then tell me I might just be crazy, lol.
But still, if u think of something. I know it's not gonna be perfect, but something that would make pretty pics but still cost reasonable price?! I hope you can give me some advices on this... Have a nice day y'all

Second hand there is some good stuff available. Being a canon man I know that you can get a 400d or 30d for round about this price if you look for a bit and make offers

canon 350D or nikon D40 and a 18-55mm IS or VR lens.

As a Nikon user you should be able to get a Nikon D40 & possibly the kit lens as well - an ideal starter Nikon body...

One in the classifieds at the mo for your budget... Nikon D40

Nice starter camera & well recommended ( I had one when I 1st started off)... But then gain the choice is entirely down to you....

Trig's just beat me to it ! Just spotted the used one in the classifieds, looks decent.

As a previous D40 user, I would recommend it. Intuitive and easy to use.

Thanks guys for your tips
Still, I'm a foreigner, so I'd prefer something that I can buy at the store for this price. I dont know where to look for a second hand cameras in my country... I guess there might be some shop... but tips for cameras that are available in stores for this price would be cool,too. Although I see why you recommend nikon and canon. If I only had more money...

PeteMo and Trig's - guy says something that it's not for people from elswhere?! If I get it right, he wouldnt give it to me as I'm a foreigner. Plus I need to save up more money as I bought a new laptop few months ago. But thanks anyway

Unless you stated which country your from - then I/we assumed that you were from the UK...

Think that now your only other bet would be to have a look on ebay then... But check to see if they are willing to post overseas/outside the UK if your looking at anything from the UK - otherwise it would have to be ebay of your country...
