Reasonable starter camera

    Can someone recommend me a complete camera with a wide angle lense for less then 300 ? I need it unexpectedly for my business. I am on a budget and my phone camera is probably not going to suffice.

    I am sure there are many in the know how here who can point me towards a camera that will do the job. A wide angle lense is important.

    cheers

    What's the job?

    As in, it'll be much easier to offer camera recommendations if you say what you want to use it for.

    You are looking for someone to recommend a camera with a wide angle lens? For €300? You want it to document landscaping work, or to take landscape photographs...?

    Firstly, most people would be reluctant to suggest a camera based on your questions, because that is very little money for a suitable camera and your level of expertise is obviously not high... So even with a good camera, you'll also need to have a good attitude to learn how to take good photos.

    Secondly, your query is not put very well and you come across as arrogant... Why would anyone want to help you... Remember, you don't have a right to an answer in a community like this, I suggest you give more detail and use a more humble approach and maybe you will generate some better results.

    My advice would be to go with a Canon Eos M camera and an 11-22 lens. You might come away with change for €600. If you don't like my comment that's fine, but please don't get arsey and throw it back at me. I'm just trying to help you.

    Of course no one has a bulls notion you haven’t given enough detail to offer an answer.

    Most modern mobile phones can take an image suitable for most situations, they can take better pictures in the hands of someone who understands about photography and someone with a creative eye.
