Beginners will not grow out of the EOS 200D Mark II too quickly, thanks to more advanced features such as a sports-friendly 5 frames per second continuous shooting rate, time-lapse video, and a 3-inch tilting LCD screen which makes it a great camera for recording vlogs and taking selfies.

The retro-style Olympus E-M10 MK3 looks like a classic film camera, but has all the easy-to-use, customisable features you'd expect from a modern model. This top-class mirrorless camera is compatible with a wide range of Micro Four Thirds lenses, meaning you can tailor the camera to achieve the results you want. Our handy bundle pairs the E-M10 MK3 with the Olympus OMD 14-42mm EZ Power Zoom, a lightweight lens with a wide 28-84mm focal range and 3x zoom range that is perfect for landscape photography.

One of the best budget cameras for beginners, the E-M10 is ideal for those who want to explore customisable camera features before venturing into manual photography.
