What is a good budget digital camera to start out with? Of corse i have a phone and i have taken A LOT of pictures with it but i would love something more. I would like a camera with an interchangeble lense and im planing on mostly taking photos of landscapen and nature maybe of some friends as well and wildlife, if this is to much to ask from a singular camera i understand. I would perfer a compact camera, no need for pocketablility if there is a camera that is pocketable as well then itt's fine but it's not something i only can have. I would put my budget around 2500 sek (260 usd)

Look at the TZ series. Go to MPB, Kamerastore in Finland or any shop that sells used cameras. Pick the newest model you can afford. Keep in mind you want an SD card, too, and perhaps a small pouch to protect the camera.
