you need to spend sometime checking out different types, check out stores like Salem, Foto Gulf, Carrefour, LuLu or if you want a second hand one check out on here or King's Camera. Myself, I use a Canon and I recommend it to everyone but it might not be the camera you will end up liking.Check out different types and get a feel for what is comfortable to you, you are the one who has to use it hopefully for a long and enjoyable time.
