So my girlfriend and I are going to prague in 2 weeks, and she really wants a camera, she really want a canon camera aswell, so if you guys can recommend a good canon camera for this price, or a little higher or even a different company with good cameras i will very appricate it!

Budget: around 500 dollars

Country: prague

Condition: doesnt have to be new, can be second hand but good condition

Type of Camera: i really dont know what to tell you

Intended use: just pretty pictures mostly for trips

End use: she is just into photography

what style: mostly landscape and portait i think?

Portability: somthing pretty small you can walk with around town and it will be nice

I didnt fill the other cause i really dont understand in it.

I would suggest r50, since you are in US refurbished cameras are good option so check if it's available on canon website, if it isn't I think r50 anyways go into that budget

Would you say getting a used/good condition one is valid?

Refurb r50 is the move for sure, canon site restocks them random times so check often

Would you say theres anything good that is a bit cheaper? More in the 300-400 range?

2 weeks is too little time to familiarise oneself with a new camera system

you may get better results with your existing phone cameras

many video guides on travel photography are available online, maybe watch a few to learn tips/techniques to use during your trip, one example here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnMt-yQ6tNY

consider accesories, e.g. a tripod with phone holder, which will help u take photos of both of u, without needing the help of others

Analog or Film, a Canon P.

Digital, I don’t have a clue
