Advice on half decent macro and whether to pick compact or SLR for newbie!
Hi
I am really new to photography and this forum so apologies if I have repeated a question that has alreedy been asked (I did search but couldnt what I was looking for!)
I am looking buy a new digital camera. I dont whether I should get a compact or digital SLR. I don’t mond a bulkier camera I am more bothered about quality really. I am a beginner but would like to explore photography a lot more... I dont mind getting a second hand older model and am looking for something quite simple but takes good quality photos, not so bothered about loads of fancy settings with effects and
I am really interested in macro photography too, I am ideally looking for a camera than do okay macro photography and also I can use for taking photos of family and friends, and also headshots for my hair extensions business.
My budget is 150 – 200 pounds, not a lot I know, but was wondering if anyone knew a good model for macro and everyday shooting that they could recommend, and advise whether I would be better off with compact or SLR.
Thank you so much in advance for any advice, as I said I am a total beginner so do apologise if I have repeated myself!
