Sorry, I know this has been asked plenty of times before but I'm after some advice.
I should say first of all that I have no idea when it comes to cameras apart from using my trusty point and click compact. My 11 year old has developed quite a keen interest in photography and I've found an online course she can do with Sharp Shots, to help her learn more.
She's currently using her own compact or her phone, but she's looking to ask for a camera for her upcoming birthday. From reading all the blurb, sharp shots recommend a DLSR as this will give the most benefits going forward, but I've confused myself further by reading the newbie thread and wondering if mirrorless would be better?
So basically, I'm looking for advice on what a good camera would be for an 11 year old beginner, but then still be suitable going forward as she learns more as £400 is a lot if I make the wrong choice.
Any advice / guidance you can give would be great
