hi Drummer please don’t take this the wrong way but if you have a max of 100 euro and want to get into any way serious photography and not just a compact then you really need to look at used prices on ebay ,done deal, adverts i.e. etc and you will see that there is very little for such a low price other than a compact .
Thats not to say that you can’t take good pics with a compact and its true to say sites like this attract people who often have a lot more gear than they use ,but that said this is a very expensive thing to get into and i can’t see 100 euro will take you very far.
I hope you get on well though as its always good to see another photographer on the go.

(Sorry – I typed this earlier but for some reason it didn’t post)

This is exactly why I came here. I’m getting honest advice. (At least I think so !!!)

Anyway, the way I was thinking was that I have seen some decent cameras in Argos and the like for the 250-300 euro mark. By that logic, cameras a few years old might sell for about the 150 mark. Especially where enthusiasts are moving onto bigger and better things.

The thinking is that although the camera would be no longer useful to the seller, it is likely still a great camera for a beginner.

So I think I will leave this out there. If anyone has a camera to sell with around 12Mp res and it uses Li-ion battery, get in touch. Open to all offers.

Thanks guys.
