Hi, I'm looking to get a better camera. I currently have a Sony P200 cybershot compact which has done and still does a great job. I'm basically after a much better image and a much longer zoom potential. I figured I'd buy a bridge camera but after a bit of research it seems that many DSLRs are not much more.
I've read a lot of reviews and have ended up with a huge list that continual changes so I'm after a bit of advice and direction. I find it difficult to compare to my current Sony to a DSLR or a bridge camera for obvious reasons. Is image quality streets ahead on a DSLR e.g. Would an image on a poorly reviewed DSLR be better than my P200?
Budget is around £300-350 and don't mind second hand. Will be taking pics of family (so decent red eye reduction beneficial), landscapes/buildings and wildlife mainly.
I'm a complete beginner in this field so don't want to be suckered into buying features I'm not going to have a clue how to use but by I don't want a camera that will leave me wanting after a couple of months. I've always been interested in photography so I'm hoping my next purchase will encourage me to become more of an enthusiast.
