Submitted by KeenAsFisho on Wed, 2012-12-05 06:34
G'day All,
I know this ain't fishing quality (well it could be on a technicality i suppose) but the mrs and I are going to be having a baby next year. So for xmas I want to get her a good quality camera and camcorder. Basically what I want to know is can anyone recommend a good quality digital SLR for under 500 bucks?
Has anyone got one they like and would recommend getting? I am pretty cluey with the camcorder side so I will be able to find one of those but the camera side I am useless!!
Has to be a pretty good quality one (I realize I am a bit restricted at 500) but I also will take it on the boat (aha yes it IS a fishing topic lol) so want one that will handle that alrite.
Cheers all!

Canon have released a dslr that has a new auto focus feature you could combine both your needs with the one camera, just a thought..

Look for a second hand job off someone that is upgrading, know there were a few on here a while back, but its not a bad time considering people will probably be upgrading soon for Chrissie, but your issue is they probably won't get rid of them until after they have their new one which won't suit your time frame. :(

Canon s110
Awesome functions. Easy to use and takes a picture as good as a G12 plus it's smaller so you end up taking it out more.

I recently got a used Canon 450D with lens and extra battery off eBay for well under $350 delivered. Older camera but in new condition. Takes brilliant pics and at that price I'm not afraid to take it in the boat.
