I'm a fashion blogger and going to start taking pictures of London street style as well as taking pictures from fashion shows and I really need a good camera.

I need help with this as I have no clue about cameras, I don't want ordinary digital camera as I have one already. Suggestions please, everyone says Nikon and Kodak are good ones. I'm willing to invest about £200 that is around $380.

Ask again when you're ready to spend some money.

With your budget, you are not going to be able to afford anything new that is better than a point and shoot, or a bridge camera, unless you are prepared to buy something like a second hand 35mm film SLR (not a digital camera).

A new entry level DSLR is going to cost you around about the £600 mark. You might be able to pick up something second hand that is cheaper but probably not for £200.

You need an entry level Digital SLR. These are the two most popular:

Nikon:

Canon:

But you'll be struggling to get one for less than £300, even second hand. If you're serious about taking good pictures then you'll need to find the extra money. If your budget really is £200, then you may as well stay with whatever digital you're already got, because spending that much won't get you anything worthwhile.
