What would be a good entry camera for a novice?
I have been taking some pictures with my iphone and i really love it, but it has some limits. I would like to try and experiment a bit more and maybe do a bit more with my pictures.
can anyone recommend a good entry level camera that isn't too expensive?
what should i look out for or consider when buying it?
If you are serious about your photography and can afford £300+, with time and effort for learning - take the plunge into a DSLR

The Canon EOS 1100D, Nikon D3100 and maybe the Sony Alpha a3000 is within reach, with the 18-55mm kit lens bundled
If not, you need to define your needs better, as also your budget indication
It all depends really what you are looking for and what you class as inexpensive.
I would say, first thing is to determine what you want to do with your camera and the kind of pictures you are wanting to make. Do you just want regular snaps or do you want to be a bit more serious with your photography.
if you are looking for just snaps then your iphone is probably already quite good. But you might also want to consider a point and shoot. You can get some reasonable cameras for under 100 pounds/dollar. If you are not really that fussed with the latest and greatest then you can always look at the bargain section or discounted models. These are previous models which have great features, but which are being replaced with newer models.
if you want to be a bit more serious about your pictures then you can go for a dslr or a bridge camera. You can get some really good entry level models like a canon rebel or nikon models. For starters you will be fine with just the kit lens. Once you take some pictures and get used to it you can always upgrade.
Interchangeable lenses are not that important to start with. As long as your camera has a manual mode for shutter, aperture and Iso you can use to set up things yourself then that is already a great start.
- Would this be a good camera for outside? I'm pretty interested in photography, and I have been taking pictures on my iphone, but I would like to get a camera. Would the Sony Alpha NEX-C3 16 MP be a good camera for someone who likes to take pictures of nature and animals? (Landscapes, close-ups, etc)
- Which camera is better: An old General Imaging x500 Digital Camera or an iPhone 7 front camera? It looks like an iPhone only offers 7 MP while this camera boasts 16 MP but this camera is so old and looks worse at least on its own screen. I'm confused
- What would happen if i replaced my iphone 4s camera with the iphone 5s camera? If i want to replace my iphone 4s camera with the iphone 5s camera would something bad happen to my phone? Would it get hot? Would the phone be able to handle the 120 fps? Would it let me take slo motion video? Would it even fit?
- What would be a good iphone 4/4s (Amazon) to be a good test dummy? So I want to try to replace a iphone screen, and since the iphone 4/4s would be a good candidate, since it's hard to replace its screen, I would use one of them. But since I have a phone that's in Like New condition (been in a otterbox in addition to screen protectors) I don't want to use it. Can some one help me find a good phone to test on?
