Personally , I wouldn't buy secondhand because the digital cameras are updated so quickly. Also, unless you can try before you buy, you might get something with scratched lens or has been dropped etc.
Just spent a while catching up on this thread, stunning photo's everyone I especially like your seed heads Fidget and thanks for the link to Danny Greens site David, amazing, I now want to go to Finland and Iceland!
If I were to buy a camera for around £80ish what would you recommend? and would I get more for my money if I bought second hand or is that a false economy?
Ashleigh - I agree with fidget, avoid second hand cameras....certainly unless you know the camera & seller.
Perhaps worth noting that you can buy a new Canon Powershot A2500 (Argos) for around £60. This has a 5x zoom & 16 mega-pixels and quite capable of taking some very good pictures.
Oh course, it wouldn't be a match for Danny Green's shots.

They have some used Canon cameras on ebay for around my budget but they're only 8.2 mp, would I be able to get some decent shots with one of these?
