Good canera for starter?
A digital. Price range between 50-100 US dollars (doesn't have to be from the US but make sure that 1. It can ship to the US and 2. The equivalent of the price is within my budget) preferably with a high or semi high amount of megapixels.
A good camera for a starter is whatever you can afford. When starting out, all you need is a device to capture what you saw. If that's a phone or a Hello-Kitty camera, fine. What matters when you're starting out is that you learn the fundamentals of light, composition, and understand how to see. Your decisions as to what to shoot (photogenic vs boring subjects), when to shoot (golden hour vs mid-day), how to shoot it (composition) and various other factors that are solely based on your artistic abilities and have little or nothing to do with the camera you use.
Since your budget is $50-$100, you're not going to get anything but a cheap Chineese POS if you buy a new camera. Your best bet is to go with a used camera from one of the main brands such as Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, and Sony. Stay away from brands that do not make their own cameras such as Vivitar, GE, and Kodak. Avoid brands such as Samsung which has pulled out of the camera business.
Shop on eBay or craigslist if you know what you want. For more assurance that you're not buying a brick in a box, shop at keh.com which is the best online store for used camera equipment. At $100, you'll get a far more advanced camera than anything new on the market for twice the price - easily!
Don't put too much importance on how many megapixels the camera's sensor has. More doesn't always mean a better camera or better photos. The size of the sensor and the size of the pixels is far more important. Bigger pixel means better dynamic range and less noise at higher ISO settings. More pixels often means having to compromise by having smaller pixels. Having more pixels will allow for larger prints or heavier cropping. For these reasons, this is how a 12MP camera can have better image quality than a 20MP camera on the same or smaller size of sensor.
Use the studio tool or old studio tool at dpreview.com (it's under the "Sample Images" dropdown menu) to be able to see the sharpness and ISO performance of compact cameras. 1. Megapixel count doesn't mean anything
2. At that price the camera in your phone's probably as good as you'll get - modern phones are good!
3. If you don't have a phone with camera you might as well get something from your local supermarket - there's not much difference between any of them, though I'd steer clear of Vivitar. The best you can get with that budget is a cheap Sony Cybershot.
