Hi there I have a question for you. My daughter is going to buy for herself a digital camera she is looking at a semi professional something she can turn from hobby to work. I have a Nikon dsomething that she has been using but it is now not working. I figure if she buys it for herself she would be more apt to keep it new. She is an amazing photographer and has a good eye. Ok so my question sorry is what type of beginning camera would you recommend. She would like to stay around $500 range I am so proud of her for buying it herself so any and all advice is welcomed!
