 DSLR cameras. - Roger.
Our grandson, now 14, is next year moving into the GCSE preparation stage of his schooling.
He's chosen the academic, (Maths/Science/IT) route, plus a choice from other obligatory subjects on which his school insists.
An option on other, free, choices, has photography as a possibility, but for that he needs a halfway decent camera.
Bearing in mind that this is not a core subject and that it may be a passing phase, it seems to me that a second hand camera from eBay might fit the bill.
Pricing, if we help him, is a factor and I wouldn't want to spend more than a couple of hundred pounds.
Is it possible to get a reasonable DSLR for that sort of money and if so are there makes to avoid and makes to look out for?
Our daughter, his mother, has a very, very, fancy Sony DSLR, mega-bucks cost camera with multiple lenses, filters etc, plus a tripod and various lighting units, but I don't want to involve her, while we are still deciding if it is a viable deal for us.
