Hi all,
I'm putting this here because this seems to span various other forums. Other forum where it might fit the unRF. Please place it as you see fit, mods.
Grand-daughter, 10yo, fresh from a summer photo class using a DSLR asks for a camera birthday present. I've reviewed the similar threads, but not found one that hits this area.
I'm not convinced she would not be better off with the form factor of other cameras, compact, 4/3, m4/3, mirror less, etc. But there are also financial limits to consider. Until it is clear that the camera is safe from loss and theft, I would prefer to stay under $200.
Am I correct that in that range, the best deal is a crop body DSLR, used?
Or am I misjudging the market?
Any that stand out?
She has apparently had experience with manual controls and lens accessories.
Thanks.
Giorgio
