It's just below your mark and you can add 32GB cards for cheap today. That said I'm getting some great shots with my LG G4 cell phone.
I'm looking to purchase a camera to use while I study abroad and travel for a few months next year. I know very little about cameras and am wondering if anyone has suggestions for a camera that is under $275, good for taking photos of landscapes and tourist sites, and that has good photo quality. Preferably something that is budget friendly, with quality that is close to that of a dslr camera. Thank you!
