| May 25, 2022 at 5:10 | comment | added | Michael C | Just for the record which @mac_33 may or may not already know, in Canon land, P-Tv-Av-M is the equivalent of PSAM for most other brands. P = Program exposure mode. S/Tv = Shutter speed/Time Value priority exposure mode, A/Av = Aperture value priority exposure mode, M = Manual exposure mode. | |

The answer will either be "Use Instagram" or she'll be off into photo editing, where again the journey is harder, but the rewards [emotionally] are greater. :) | |

| May 18, 2022 at 14:38 | comment | added | spikey_richie | @mac_33 something like an Olympus Evolt E500 with a couple of kit lenses would be a great ~ 10-year-old starter camera that meets the criteria inkista lists, which you could probably pick up from eBay for somewhere near your budget. | |
| May 18, 2022 at 7:07 | comment | added | Tetsujin | The big downside to any phone, even the £1000+ iPhone Pro, is that the longest lens is still pretty short. They have all the pseudo-intelligent processing options to make an amateur's photos look better than they could get with a real camera… but to learn & explore, they take away any education value & replace it with instant gratification. & to get down to £100, you really are going to be looking at decade-old gear, possibly even 3rd party manual lenses. | |
| May 18, 2022 at 3:30 | comment | added | mac_33 | Definitely thinking decade old gear. I’ll do some research into telephoto lens options then. I understand the iPod route but do wonder if that’ll somehow stunt her interest. Simply because she can use it for other apps and it’s not her “idea” of what a photographer uses… | |
