Been thinking recently, I spend all my money and time on my bikes and Mrs Jackass hasn't really got a hobby or anything. She's had a few over the years but now with the family etc. she doesn't seem to have anything.
However the one thing she does do a lot of is taking pictures. Shes got a little Fuji compact camera which came highly rated on the gadget show and she is very pleased with it.
Now I would like to treat her and I am thinking of buying her a 'proper' camera and maybe getting her on a course or something. She did a City & Guilds many years ago in photography and really enjoyed it so I think she'll like the idea.
Now help, where do I start with a 'proper' camera? second hand or new? are those new mini digital SLR's any good??
Personally I am happier spending a smaller amount now and if she gets into it then spending more money on something specific later.
I always treat things like bikes, if I didn't ride I would prefer a £500 starter and then later spend £1500+ on a bike that I choose than go straight into something expensive and regret it later (not looking at spending this much just a reference).
There are a few deals in the classifieds IIRC atm so advice on any of these would also be appreciated.
Cheers
