I'm in need of a digital camera that can produce clean sharp images and has a reasonable optical zoom. The resolution isn't really my concern, i just want a decent ISO/shutter/apature range to play around with.
The catch is that i can't really afford a quality DSLR, so i'm looking more towards a mirrorless hybrid. So a compact with a decent size sensor & lens. Removable lenses if possible.
My budget is about £250- £300 (Whatever that is in dollars).
I know there is a couple of avid photographers on these forums, so i ask, can anyone recommend me a good camera in this price range?
Edit/
That's my budget not including lenses and memory cards, i can buy those at a later date.
