 Numpties DSLR - No FM2R
1) I know nothing.

2) I got loads of advice here when looking for a camera for No 1 daughter which would do everything she wanted, but not be too expensive in case it was a passing hobby.


We bought this.

www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-S9400W-Digital-3-0-Inch/dp/B00HGE3CZI

The main thing to note is that the lens is NOT changeable.

She loves it and she has taken some really lovely pictures with it - from landscapes to beetles and most things in between.

It has a fully auto mode, but she messes around with loads of settings as well.

She is pretty dedicated and has started taking lessons. Her teacher, a professional photographer, seems as happy with her camera at this stage as she does.

There are great deals on this and the 9200 at the moment from Amazon in the US, and since you can ship it to a US address that may well be the way to go.

You may find the inability to change lens restrictive. With the 50x optical zoom and the various panoramic and filter options, she does not

In any case, whatever camera you buy, if you want it for the US I strongly recommend that you cruise the US sites, buy it there and get it shipped to a US address ready for you.

My experience was that the US was about 20% cheaper than the UK and about 40% cheaper than Chile.
