Hello

I've got a bit of cash, and I want to invest in a camera; it'll be mostly used for aviation. (Airshows etc - so fast moving)
I've got £200, and I know that probably won't buy me a DSLR so what's the next best thing?
Or should I save up more, and if so, which one?

Cheers
Luke

Why not try and buy a second hand DSLR? From a trusted shop ... or, you could try the Fuji Finepix range like this:

I have heard good things about the above.

Don't know any shops around here unfortunately.
And that looks decent, I'll look into it. Thanks (:

Just remember, MP doesn't reflect the quality of the camera, it's the MP to sensor ratio that does :)

Okay, I'll bare that in mind :L

Fast + compact zoom isn't going to work. I'd save up a bit and look at second hand DSLRs if I were you.

+ the quality of the lens :)

Right, decided to save up and get a Nikon D40 (with 18-55mm lens) - heard it's a good 'starter' camera
