Hey guys, I could use some advice, especially from photographers.

I currently do not have a useful camera and keep having to borrow from family and friends. So this summer I plan to purchase a new one. However I am looking for one in the range of $300 - $400, so I know I can't get a great one. Any advice or suggestions would be amazing. Please note me or leave a comment.

ALSO if anyone knows anything about this camera please let me know:

It was suggested to me and seems to have good reviews, plus I can get it within my price range. So I am kind of leaning towards that one.

Anyways, for those of you who have me on watch, I'm sorry for inundating you with flower photo's. I did a flower study, just to practice with some macro, framing and using natural light. I was in a conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA on a very sunny day. Anyways, I picked my top 15 to submit (only 5 at a time though, the rest are coming tomorrow and the day after). I will eventually move the less successful ones to scraps. The ones that are my favorites or the most popular will be renamed and stay in the gallery.

The whole point of this process was to learn, so any comments would be greatly appreciated. Even if you just want to let me know which ones your prefer.

Thanks so much!
