Recommend a camera?
Folks
For some years I have travelled on my bike throughout Europe. I have always had a camera with me but they have have always been the compact type, which I have found to be quite restrictive when it comes to zooming etc.
I am not a fanatical photographer but am now thinking about taking a keener interest so I can record properly the things I have seen and the places I have been.
I am considering buying a new camera and was hoping someone could give me some basic advice. I am not looking for something with 100 inter-changeable lens, nor am I looking for something that has ALL of the latest features. I don't intend to try using tricks that many of you might use, I'm not wanting to win competitions etc., I am simply looking for something like a basic SLR/compact SLR that will be reliable and will give a novice the chance to take goodish quality pics.
But please don't recommend cameras at crazy prices, I'm thinking of £150 maximum cost. I know this rules out Canon, Pentax etc. but I don't necessary need a brand name if the camera is good enough for what I want.
A friend mentioned a Fuji compact SLR at around £120. Would this be good enough.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris
