Have a look on camera jungle.co.uk. it's owned by Jessops and where part exchange cameras are sold on. Cameras have a guarantee too.
I'm a canon user so you could look at 700D or even the older 650D. There's plenty of lens choice for canon.
Nikon also good, D3300 or similar, the D5300 is good too.

Thanks John. Would you say 18mp on say a canon is better than one of those cheep digital things with 48mp you see on the bay?

Re: Dlsr camera wanted
 

I think the 48mp claim can be misleading. My phone has that but I prefer it set up a lower resolution.
The thing to consider is the sensor size. I had a 700D with 18mp but on an APS size sensor so each photo diode was reasonably large compared to say a phone or a compact camera resulting in better sensitivity. The processing of the image by the camera into a jpeg would be superior on a canon.
So I'd go for a Canon at 18mp

I had a 700D too. Excellent camera. You'll get better results with an enthusiast's DSLR like this paired with a good lens.

Thanks peeps. Its for someone else who wants to shoot things like scenery and sunsets as phone cameras dont cut the mustard for colour.

In which case I'd also suggest a simple tripod. Landscape pics benefit from one but they are a pain to lug about.

I've got a very simple Jessops brand six inch or so bendy-leg tripod I keep with my compact camera, and a (slightly larger) Gorillapod for my ILC camera. I've wrapped the legs of both around railings or the tops of bollards before now to get a nice steady shot and they they go into any backpack or big pocket.

I'm a big fan of Fuji for ergonomics, and great lenses too. DSLRs are really big, I don't know why (well the mirror box but that's not all) and too many have the simpler functions buried in menus. It depends what you want to do, but I find my old X30 is still hard to beat.

Re: Dlsr camera wanted
 

I've got a Fuji x-a1 which I use as a travel camera. Much smaller than my 80D but doesn't have a viewfinder and I find the menu less intuitive than the canon, but it does take great photos.

Have a look on marketplace too, lots of people selling off cameras.
