Looking for a good camera

[meritmaster]

Mainly for photography like uses.

I'm on a budget, so somewhere from $150-350 is all i can spend; all i really want is not clean, and crisp images.

 

Does anyone know of a camera that would fit me for my needs, and not drill a hole in my wallet?

Nikon D3100 should be around that price

 

Canon doesn't have too much on the low end. I think their lowest end model is the T3i

Sony rx100

Nikon D3100 is a good beginner DSLR

D5100 is a good choice.  Take a look around for decently quality used cameras.  Anything from nikon and canon should be good.

X-A1 or a D3200

I suggest looking at the following:

1. Sony Alpha A3000 - Slow but delivers very clean images for the price

2. Samsung NX2000 - Price had gone down but you might miss the flash (sold separately)

3. Canon EOS M - Price had gone down but you might miss the flash (sold separately)
