Camera / Photography advice

For big bangs per buck a Nikon D70 (around £50-70) body with the Nikon 18-55 lens (£50-60) will give you a superb setup. Try The Photographer's Bag shop on eBay or MPB Photographic. I have used both for secondhand equipment and they are very good.

Canon are also just as good, it's simply that I'm not familiar with their kit.

The d70 is agreat camera..i have one in me collection and its very well made..

Smartphones do really well at close focus, so I would invest in a decent one before silly small DSLR mimics.
