Camera advice - buying for nieces 21st

    Hi all

    My niece is turning 21 soon. She has a really natural talent for taking beautiful photos on her iphone. She is interested in photography as a hobby so we are thinking of chipping in and buying her a camera for her 21st. We would be spending between €300 and €400.

    What should I look out for as she is a beginner so nothing to complicated I suppose. What brands do you recommend etc.

    Any help greatly appreciated as we have no idea when it comes to cameras.

    Many thanks

    You might be able on that budget to stretch to an entry level SLR (online is usually better value here). Whether its suitable probably depends on what she's likely to do with it. If she just wants a camera she can put in her pocket and take nice holiday snaps it might be overkill but if its a hobby she might want to grow into over time it would certainly give her a learning curve to work with. Most entry level will let her take automatic or manual setting photos so she can learn at her own pace....
