Tell us the type? A compact or Superzoom for example, price willing to pay and age of camera.

Remember, a 2megapixel camera that cost £350 8 years ago is worth less than £20 today typically.

Unless you leave it in the back of a taxi in a drunken stupour then its worth £350 again in an insurance claim as somehow during the last 8 years it has transformed itself into a 16 million megapixel 20 x optical zoom super camera! ;)

I'm hoping to get a decent second hand one for about 130-150 euro, seeing that that's roughly the price of 12+mp compact cameras new in the shops here nowadays. So I don't mind something older but would like a bit more functionality than your average point & click camera to make proper photos. So what I'm looking for is basically something not as good but similar to lets say a Canon Eos, but second hand and on the cheap. If that makes sense.

If you are wanting it for photography and not snapshots i would advise you to save a little more money and get something like the Canon EOS 550D an affordable high end spec camera in a entry level body.


Two of the most important parts of a digital camera are the Lens & Chips


You don't get much for a couple of 100 euros


Over the last 2 years, Digital photography have reached a level that in 10 years time you will still be able to look at most of todays DSLR's and say WOW we really reached a level back then


thats not the same as looking back on the last 10 years (prior to that) of Digital cameras, it's more like wow theres been a lot of poop


I wouldn't bother with anything other than a DSLR or high end compact cameras. Otherwise it makes little difference if you want a compact camera with 5 or 12 Megapixals as the chip is very small so you will not be printing out poster size prints anyhow.


I still shoot film frequently and have been since i was 14 which is a little more than 70 years ago


cheers

Thanks for your reply. Useful info. Was just looking on ebay and found a
CANON EOS 1000 D for 350 euro. Could you tell me if that's reasonable and better or worse than the 550 you mention? Fact of the matter is we need it to shoot porn (web-based). Ta.

Yeah :) , but the point was that people advertise a camera (pm offers) that is worthless on eBay (doesn't even sell) based on its new price that they paid (but don't then quote the age).

The 1000D is OK but there's not much on the market under 1000 euros thats betters the Canon EOS 550D the thing is it has everything you'll ever need. plus Full HD video


1000D at €350 is not a good price (secondhand?) as its available here for €378 + 18-55MM IS Lens


The 550D with same lens is €578 in Visanta
