Hi All,

I want to get a new camera for my boyf, but i really dont know where to start. He has said he wants a camera with an interchangable lens, which will be used for lanscape, events, friends etc.

I think he would like to get into photography more, but needs the right camera to start him off.

I dont want to spend a fortune as as i mentioned above he s only starting to get into it, but any advise or even things i should look for in a good quality camera would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

As a general observation, many people choose one brand over another based on how it feels in the hand, so maybe you could consider a voucher from one of the camera shops?
