Hi all, I'm new here.

Hello people
I'm a novice from Neath, South Wales. I've always been interesed in photography but being a bussy working mum, its hard to find the time and money to pursue it. I don't even have a "proper" camera! I went to art collage and I have a City and Guilds in Black and White Photography, but I still feel kind of clueless. Any suggestions on cameras? I'm on a tight budget and I don't want anything too complicated. I particularly like to take photographs of landscapes and nature. I also need something that can keep up with kids on the go. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi and welcome

If it's a compact you're after the Panasonic LX3 is a good landscape camera, it can be bought secondhand for £150-180

To get the same kind of quality in a dslr you'd need to spend 5x that if you factor in a wide lens
