A friend wants to start taking pictures. They don’t want a full DSLR. They’re looking at this camera, although it’s quite expensive….

They don’t have much of an inclination to do any tweaking on the computer afterwards, they just want to take nice pictures.
I suggested a cheaper compact camera for around the £150 – £200, something that’s fully manual should enable them to learn how to take proper pictures, plus they’ll know if they enjoy it or not.
Is there anything in the £150 – £200 bracket that’d do for learning/taking nice photos with? Or is the £500 Sony worth the extra money?
Thank you!
