I want to learn photography. I don't know what camera to buy. Professionals who know better give me some hints. The price is below 2500.

If you study photography, you will generally recommend SLR, even the most elementary SLR, but if the economic conditions do not allow, you can only buy a machine with full manual function, and the CCD should be as large as possible, because this will make you better play the manual function, otherwise the picture quality will be poor, and no matter how you shoot, you will lose confidence after a long time.

In this case, Fuji S205 is the first choice. You can watch the films made by experts on the forum, and the price meets your requirements. In addition, this machine has the problem of "snowflake door" (otherwise it will not necessarily reduce the price), but it can be overcome.

There is also Panasonic LX3, the machine is very good, almost perfect (except for the coke part), and the licensed price is very high. You can buy water at this price.

There are many other large CCD and fully manual machines, which are very expensive. For example, Canon G series are all 3000+, and some are all manual, but the CCD is not big enough, so it doesn't feel much when used. ...

Finally, if you really want to learn photography, you still recommend SLR (even the most basic), but if you learn to play by yourself, you can buy the one recommended above, because SLR is a bottomless pit and burns money.
