Hello every one looking to get started in photography. Going to travel and will be looking to buy. Any good ideas for around 8 hundreds dollars.
For extensive travel you may consider, K.I.S.S.,"Keep it simple silly", a quality, higher end Point & Shoot from a variety of manufacturers, Nikon, Cannon, Panasonic (Lumix), etc.
You may also want a starter DSLR Camera, Like mine, a Nikon D3300, with a 35mm 1.8g and a 50mm 1.8g, these are prime lens with fixed apertures, great in low light. Also maybe a Nikon 18-300 Zoom.
All this depends on you $$$ allowance for photography. A D3300 will cost new around $400.00, maybe less if Refurbished or used, the 2 prime lens will be about $200.00 each, maybe less if refurbished or used, so right there is your $800.00 allowance, that is without a Camera Bag, Tripod, Speedlite Flash, etc.
Do your Research on both DSLR's and Point & Shoot Cameras, take your time, Read the Reviews on Cameras and Lens. Search B&H Photo, Adorama, Cameta Camera, Amazon, Ebay, Etc.
Hope you find you Dream Camera and let us know how your adventures turn out.
