I love taking pictures, and I feel I have stepped up from a digital camera, and need something a bit more advanced. I am very interested in photography, only 13 years old, and with parents that are willing to buy me a better camera. I don’t want anything very professional, but something that will give me great pictures. Can anyone tell me what the best suited camera would be? Also, nothing that exceeds about $1000, $1500, etc. Also, any tips from anyone with experience?
