Looking for advice on a Camera

Tea_Bag

ive been meaning to invest in a half decent camera and get into photography.

im looking for a camera that would be good at shooting people/closeups morso than landscapes.

with a budget of €200+-, i do realize im not going to be getting a great camera, but i figured i could get a fair enough Bridge camera? I could stretch the budget a bit if there was a bargain DSLR or something that people thought id later regret not spending that little extra on.


any advice appreciated:o

With that budget, buy 2nd hand, and if it's for close-ups and portaits, a 50mm lens would do.

Any Canon body would do to learn with.
