Best Ways To Make Money Selling Photography:

What is a good camera for a beginner in photography?

I'm 14, and I want to start getting in to photography, and I would like a good camera to start with. I want something that will last me at least a year. I wouldn't mind the complexity of it, as I am willing to learn. Would you be able to recommend a good camera under £200. I meant a while not a year.

1. If you want a digital compact camera a Canon ixus 800 has proven to be very good for me. Easy, reliable, great photos. Good luck.
2. Honestly a manual film camera (like Nikon FM10, which is still being made). You set everything yourself (speed shuttle, apature, focus, etc.) and you think about each shot before you take it. That was how I learned about photography (Nikon F2AS and later, FM2). But it costs quite a bit to do film these days, so a DSLR would be a good choice (as you can change the settings yourself even if you don't put it in M mode). Since your budget does not allow that, a DSLR like might do. My brother uses Canon Powershot S5 and he really likes it. It is a bit over what you are willing to pay though. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=15207#ModelTechSpecsAct Does anyone else has a good suggestion of a camera that you have used that might be good for someone who starts out in photography?
3. If you want a normal camera (non-digitalized with film). I would suggest a LOMOGRAPHY (or LOMO) camera. A regular LOMOGRAPHY camera is less then $100. But, you can buy kits. Usually $70 to $400 for the kits. But you should buy the film off the websites. Also the film type differs. Some cameras use 35mm and other cameras use 120 film. Be sure to check the film type BEFORE buying. If you are looking for a professional looking digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) I would suggest a Canon or Nikon camera. They get a little pricey though but it's worth the money I think. Invest in lenses because the lenses will last longer than the camera. for lomography cameras go here: http://www.lomography.com (to buy and for information on lomography cameras) http://www.fredflare.com (to buy) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomography (for information on lomography cameras) for DSLR cameras go here: http://www.nikon.com (to buy) http://www.canon.com (to buy) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_single-lens_reflex_camera (for information on the DSLR)
4. You should get a manual 35mm SLR camera with a 50mm lens. Those are used for school, so if you ever take a photo class, you're set. I'd suggest a Pentax K1000. ($150) That's was the one my teacher used. I use a Olympus OM1 ($50-) CHECK EBAY. For digital, since you're beginning, I'd a get a D50 or D40 body and buy a 50mm f1.8 lens separately. Though it's more expensive it's worth it. Lomography is toy cameras. I don't know how much you could learn with them because it's mostly point and shoot.
