Not sure if this is okay to post in here so if not please redirect me to the correct place.

But I'm looking for advice on cameras as I'm going on holiday next year to Egypt and Cyprus and a few other places like Amsterdam etc... so I'm looking into buying a camera which is decent for the money and easy to use because well I'm not a professional photographer lol. I don't have a budget on this so if you have a recommendation and a link sure let me know

If anyone has any advice on this sorta thing that would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

I'd honestly just use your phone if your just using it for holiday pictures they get just as good pictures

Was thinking of this but like I want to start getting into photography as I do go out and about Northern Ireland where I live and go around all the old castles and the coast etc.. so was thinking of getting a camera to do this sorta stuff and was gonna start off when I was off on holiday.

Thank you for your input

Oh ye definitely if your wanting to get into photography then ye I would recommend getting one but if it's just for holiday pictures I would just use your phone I made the mistake of spending £350 on a camera that I have used once

I'd suggest taking a look at the "Nikon D5100" this was the first camera i ever purchased and still own it to this day along side a few others. The camera is Lightweight, Easy to use, Battery Life is very good.

Few links below for you to check out some reviews and pricing etc

Oh dear not good man, but yeah I spend quite a bit of time out and about a lot of scenery etc, like I going to the Game of Throne sets over here in Northern Ireland and enjoy the Tall Ship events that come over here to Belfast etc

So was looking at going into photography for a pass time

If you're seriously starting about going into photography, I'd highly recommend the Canon EOS 700D. They retail for around £270-300 i think.

Absolutely brilliant starter camera.

If you want any help with lenses or anything just shoot me a pm.

Was going to say the same thing. I've seen a lot of starting photographers using canons then working their way up.
