Decent Camera for a Begginner

[laurawinter1990]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and want to start photography, I think I take a few good photos just from my camera phone that is 5MP.

I have seen the GE X5 Digital SLR 14MP Camera with 15X zoom for £97. I just wanted someone to tell me that it is a good purchase if anyone has any reviews or experiences etc.

Thank you

Just use the default font and size.

Any camera you use is a good camera.

Learn to use the manual and aperture-priority exposure modes if you want control of photographic creativity.

I wouldn't buy it. It's not a digital SLR either, it's more of a bridge camera.

Oh ok, what does using the default font do different

Hmmm, but still there is a need to get a good camera for the right money.

It helps to not aggravate people.

I'd look at either a Nikon or Canon entry level model

I started composition training with a $130 Canon Powershot A3000IS...of course I must be the only person who uses it as when I do a search for it at google's search engine...I find myself within the first few hits....

Omg, how have I aggravated people????

 

[AgentDrex]

You haven't, you were warned it may aggravate people for some reason or another to use a different font than the default one provided. Don't ask me, just saying...

 

[laurawinter1990]

Ok, thank you. But COME ON people, its only a font!!! Bloody pathetic

 

[AgentDrex]

I know, right?

 

[robb01]

Ok, thank you. But COME ON people, its only a font!!! Bloody pathetic

It's just that most people don't change the font, so one becomes accustomed to reading the normal font. No worries though!

 

[laurawinter1990]

Okay then, worried, too right!

Thanks for the advice on the camera though

Ok, thank you. But COME ON people, its only a font!!! Bloody pathetic

Welcome to the hive mind that is offended by creative choice.
