Buying A New or Old Canon
Hi there,
I have 0 clue about cameras and i’m looking to buy one. I would really like a high quality camera that is easy to use. i want a camera that i can have for a really long time as i want to take photos throughout life. I was just wondering what you would recommend? My price range is up to £300
Hi Eleanor,
Welcome to the the world of too many camera options. I'll try to help you choose a new camera. First I'd suggest you take advantage of my free one-on-one camera advisor questionnaire. That will give me an even deeper look into what might work for you.
Buy New or Used Camera
If 300 is your limit for investing in a "new" digital camera, you will be limited to just a few new models or a lot of solid used camera models. You might also enjoy reading an article I just posted yesterday: Safely Buying a Used Canon.I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Bruce
