Advice on what camera to get
Hi,
I don't know anything about photography, I just like to take photos as a hobby and I really enjoy birdwatching.
I was offered a second hand Cannon EOS 1100D a while ago. I realized it wasn't the right camera for me as I didn't know how to use it properly (I need something simpler), the lens couldn't reach the birds, and I couldn't afford lenses that can.
So I sold the camera and was looking to get something more "humble" that can take decent amateur pictures of the birds I spot during the day.
I'm looking for digital/compact cameras with "longer zooms", I've found one in my budget with a 52x zoom. But I don't know what else to look for in a camera, so I was wondering if someone could offer me some advice, please?
I have a very low budget of around 250 euros.
I just want something I can have fun with and register the birds I see when I'm out.
Thank you in advance
