Any advanced fixed lens cam will be good for learning, so long as you have control over shutter and aperture. The newer stuff is generally a lot closer to SLR control and response but they still tend to eat batteries, lag the shutter and introduce noise because they're so compact. | |

so it would be an ok camera for a beginner? to be able to acheive fairly decent results? You cant change the lenses though can you? | |

yes - they have some manual control. you can adjust apeture and shutter speed white balance etc. IIRC the s5600 can also take raw | |

to a relative photography beginner, would one of these cameras (5500/5600) have any advantages over my existing camera which is an M603 Fujifilm just one of the compact zoom type cameras? | |

quote: limitations small sensor size = high noise slow AF speed slow multiple burst speed less adjustablity small buffer images are not as sharp (not aproblemm unless you want to print above A4) | |

you won't get an SLR with an XD card only point and clicks | |

I would rather stick with something that will take XD cards as I have a 1gig XD and a 512mb and a 256 somewhere too, so it would save some money. | |

Thanks for that Ian, I had been looking at some previous threads and people had mentioned a Fuji Finepix 5500 / 5600? Are these any good? What are there limitations? | |

Depends on budget, newer stuff generally is higher res and higher ISO with less noise and thus better in low light as you can turn the sensitivity up, but even older stuff now is still worthwhile checking out. Biggest investment is lenses really. You'll need at least something wide angle - 20 to 40mm ish and something a bit longer, maybe 135/200. That could be hundreds on its own. | |

Can anyone recommend a good 'starter' digital SLR camera? I'm not in any danger of upstaging David Bailey so something reasonably priced that I will be able to achieve good results with? |
